のこそう: A Camera for the Person Behind the Camera
An upcoming iOS family camera designed to help parents appear in their own photos, using rapid bursts and automatic best-shot selection.
Field notes
The proposed camera treats family photography as a problem of participation rather than image storage: one press creates an approximately 28-frame burst, after which the app chooses a frame using facial appearance. A translucent previous-photo overlay is meant to communicate framing without verbal direction, while reminders connect shooting to calendar events. The page also specifies that face-registration data stays on the iPhone and that unselected burst images are scheduled for deletion after three days. The iOS release is described as forthcoming.
