Kodak Disc Camera was developed and design after a market research study focusing on those conditions or activities in which customers were not used to take pictures
Was the definition of functionality of the Disc Camera adequate?
“negative effect on quality” and “excessive noise in the output signal” (Chiang, Pennathur and Mital, 2000).
