Digital Picture Frames are becoming more ubiquitous, and I was thinking it would be great if picture frames also had a camera lens embedded in the back. That way, not only could you look at photo galleries, you could also pick up the entire picture frame and have it act as the viewfinder of a camera. Click a button, and voila! The image would be saved automatically onto the picture frame (or into the cloud).
It’s a little meta I know, but it would work so well for family photo albums over time.

Why are you posting this instead of patenting it? Jesus, you’re never gonna get rich if you keep this up.
You know what would be even cooler, would be if to erase the current picture you had to turn the frame upside down and shake it.

I would buy it if I could afford it. So you need to patent it like Mathias said, get rich, don’t forget us little people you had to step on the way up and buy it for me.

It’s a little too “Das Leben der Andern” for my taste.

There might be some paralax problems like webcams have where people never look each other in the eye since you can’t stick the camera in the middle of the frame.

Actually, I envisioned it more like you were looking through the picture frame, so it should be more like a window and less like a mirror. That way you COULD put the camera in the middle of the frame and eliminate the parallax issue. It would sort of be like those old HP commercials.
