Mono
Mono facilitates the creation of dynamic video content through
the use of simple motion control. It is an integrated filmmaking
accessory designed to improve the skills and capability of the user
by providing panoramic motion control. The device is coupled with
an intuitive smartphone or tablet application to provide complete
control over the image-capture device and the shot.
The compact device is fitted to the base of a camera or
smartphone attachment through the utilisation of the
standardised thread system evident in most camera accessories.
Once positioned, Mono allows the camera to be panoramically
controlled, rotating 360 degrees laterally. With this, the device
can perform four functions; video recording, time lapse recording,
panorama image capture and stitching and object tracking with
the aid of a remote control accessory.
Given the nature of camera motion manipulation, the device was
designed to place the emphasis on the visual video outcomes
and as a result, streamline the process and educate the user.
Through this platform the user is encouraged to experiment with
the functions and apply them to fit their needs. Furthermore, with
the introduction of additional motion control products such as
camera sliders, dollies, booms and ziplines, the capability of the
Mono device can be enhanced exponentially. Mono encourages
user engagement through the gestural input interactions which,
in turn, helps in understanding the filmmaking processes and the
development of new skills.
