Seattle, Washington-based design consultancy Artefact Group has designed a small, wearable, instant-on camera concept called Meme whose appeal should be immediately apparent to the Facebook/Twitter/Instagram generation. The idea is that you wear it like a pendant so it's always close at hand, and it has two shooting modes. The first mode is standard, you hit the button and capture a single shot. For the second mode you double-tap the button, and the camera begins snapping a shot every "x" seconds or minutes, depending on what you've programmed in.
After shooting, you can wirelessly transfer the images to your phone or pick one to display in the viewfinder and leave it there, so it's like you're wearing a high-tech locket shaped like a mini Polaroid picture around your neck. Leaving an image up doesn't burn the battery; the display uses e-ink technology, so it only draws power when you change the image.
