Have them complete a worksheet for me

I want to show my pictures to my family and friends (all 21 kids had the same answer)

I want my pictures and drawings framed

I want to send my pictures to a PhotoFrame

I camera that looks 'gadget-y'

I want to see the picture when I hold the camera up to the sun.

I want to project my images into a frame and use my camera as a remote

I want to share and view my pictures inside a tree trunk because it's cosy and in nature

Put the camera into the oven then put it into a washing machine and then put it into a com-puter to view the images

I want a shared device with my mother

I want a protective cover around my camera, the closes the camera

A camera inside a dog bone. So I can see inside his mouth

Interesting that every kid only picked family and friends. It probably goes to show kids aren't as interested in 'social networking' like everybody else. Relationships and feedback is immediate.

Wants to be able to do things with the camera that one normally wouldnt be able to do. Technology can tend to be very delicate at times

A sense of secrecy, want something that is a secret, something only you know how to do. It's a unique and personal viewing experience specific to you.

It feels good to have a physical and tangible outcome.

Very comfortable with technology and they can 'visualise' and imagine the transmission of data.

Interested in something that can do many things and has many functions – or atleast look like it can

How might we turn viewing photographs in a social experience? what tools can we provide to achieve this?

How might we develop new ways to share and view images? If we could, how can we make it a tangible experience?

How might we create game using cameras?educational gamesexercise gamesplain old funor anything you can think of!

How might we link more than one camera together? Is there a benefit to have buddy cameras?

How might we enable the act of photography to be more than just clicking a button?

Again comfortable with technology and also comfortable with ubiquitous technology

viewing and sharing pictures is an event, its a time to gather and feel cosy – like around the family photo album

go through many processes to then view your image. It takes more than clicking to 'prepare' the photo

a device that updates the other device on the go.

The camera gives you a challenge. Make the ball fall into the hole! You need to find the appropriate path in

your environment. It can be anything. How creative you want to be is upto you!!!
