The �Tri-clops� is a Wearable Camera Obscura with 3 Eyes on the World

Triclops and eyes sml

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.�
