iPad camera.......AND video chat


While currently modelling my idea of what the MacProTouch (or the iPad) might look like, one thing really struck me, having a camera at the back and at the front might seem messy. So i came up with an idea of a dual function swivel camera. The image below shows the iPad in profile. Imagine you are video chatting to your friend and suddenly you see something in the street that you want to share with your friend, real time. No problem, simply touch the camera, and swivel it to face the back of your laptop. They can now see exactly what you're talking about, while you can enjoy their reaction on your iPad!

I really love this idea because its simple, multifunctional and has a relevant affect on people's lives in how they interact with each other. It also combines a camera and video chat, two tasks typically treated separately, because one faces the user, while the other faces what the user is looking at.

Now your Apple swivel camera can do both!
