The �Tri-clops,� created by pinhole photographer Justin Quinnell,� is the world�s first multi-screen, wearable camera obscura. The device (and two extra I-scuras, as seen above) will be making the founds at several art and science festivals (e.g. Sidmouth and Green Man) in the UK over the coming months.
Here�s a quick overview of the �Tri-clops,� as presented by Quinnell�s daughter at the recent Womad festival:
When a user sticks their head into the camera obscura, they�re presented with a �stereo + 1? view of the outside world. �It�s basically three images, one to the left, one to the right and one straight ahead, all upside down and back to front,� Quinnell tells PetaPixel. �It�s like being on a different planet.�

�The best bit is walking around with it on. Very tricky!�

If you�d like to find out how to build your own camera obscura, there�s an info-packed tutorial page over on Quinnell�s website.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
