Casio has recently revealed its first compact digital camera. You must be thinking what’s so special in it. It’s just another digital camera. Well, the special feature is that it can track the way you are going to. It can guess that the big blue strip at the top is probably the sky. Yes, Casio Exilim EX-H10HG has ‘Hybrid GPS’ built-in support.
Camera has a 32-bit processing unit that uses three-axis accelerometer and axis orientation sensors. Accelerometer is functionality or may be we can call it a gizmo that can tell the camera which way up it was when you took a shot and allow auto-rotation of images.
Integrated Hybrid GPS does the regular geotagging with onboard GPS. However, if it could not receive signals from GPS satellites, the camera uses the accelerometer to track your movement in space & location-stamp the images.This enables it to keep track of the distance it has traveled since it was last able to receive signal from satellites.
Though it’s not quiet sure, you can navigate with the camera as it has built-in maps that can be displayed on the screen. It can show your where abouts and also plot a tag to mark where photos have been taken.
However, this is a prototype model and still isn’t available for customers. Casio is known to bring prototypes in the actual market quickly. So we may expect this cool digital camera to track your way soon.
