REAL PHOTOGRAPHY MUST REMAIN IN PEOPLE'S HANDS
Today, we are launching VWFNDR™ MBL, a compact camera for everyone.
A camera you always carry should work like a camera, not as a computational filter, not as an AI image generator, but as a tool for intentional photography.

Did you notice that we designed the VWFNDR MBL photo gallery around real 120 film positives?

We Began With a Simple Question:
HOW COULD A PHONE MEANINGFULLY TAKE THE PLACE OF A COMPACT CAMERA?

Did you know the screen for the KEIRIN camera was exactly a 35mm film size?
We poured so many ideas into KEIRIN that we needed something physical to hold them all. KEIRIN brochure is a compact manifesto of the thinking behind it, and what VWFNDR™ stands for.
COMING SUMMER

The designs of our concept KEIRIN were applied to MBL. We believe great cameras need great software. And by shipping MBL first, we learn from real people using a real tool in the real world. Allowing us to build the knowledge that will carry into everything that follows.

Making a camera for everyone directly impacts the position of its controls.
With MBL, we leave that choice to the user. The UI is fully reorderable, and you can customise the physical button too.
Where do you place your most-used controls on a camera?

A photo camera is equally about the experience and the quality of the images it produces. It is super impressive how far a phone DNG can be pushed.

Camera2 APIの制限やら、RAW取得時の測光の制限やら色んな問題がある中でAndroidカメラアプリをリリースする勇気に感謝。
WYSIWYGと端末負荷の駆け引きとか大変だろうけど頑張って欲しい。
MotionCam以来の希望のようなアプリだ。

BRINGING AUTHENTICITY TO THE MASSES
MBL allows everyone to prove their captures are real, for free, and it’s the second company, after Google, to be able to do it for DNGs.
We discuss the technical behind that, and the unique challenge of Android (hint: switching lenses)

Before we spend a full day talking about AI during Google I/O, here's a quick look at a new camera app from @VWFNDRcamera – only on Android – that doesn't overprocess shots and has a clever UI, and it's free!
Overview and quick samples on @9to5Google 🔗👇

なんでもかんでも安易にAI処理に走る前に、IT/AI業界は一度立ち止まって「そもそも写真とは何か」を問う必要があった。
MacによってGUIが大衆化される前夜には、文化人類学者や認知科学者、心理学者らも一緒になってこれから広まる技術をどのように設計するべきか慎重な議論が重ねられていた。
四半期ごとの成果に突き動かされた拙速な今のIT業界は、そうした丁寧なプロセスをすっ飛ばして、ただ「できるからやる」で走り続ける企業と、闇雲に新しいモノをありがたが(ってアフィリエイトの小銭を稼いでい)る周囲の野次馬たちによって目隠しをしたまま全速力で走り続けている。
今後、この製品やアナログレコードのようなカウンターバランス的製品への注目はますます広まっていくのではないかと思う。
