Scott Amron is a kick-ass designer

Scott Amron's is one of those designers that makes you want to slap yourself in the face. Some of his concepts are so plain obvious you really have to ask yourself why no one has ever thought about them before. I have stumbled over his ideas on various sites before but it wasn't until recently that I found out these never-been-done-before-ideas were coming from the same guy. 

His concepts range from coat hook light switches to carabiner keys. I urge you to have a snoop around his site and see what else you can find. Keep reading to see some of my favourites. 

Jonas Pfeil's Ball-Camera

At Curve we love photography and we've always loved the idea of being able to create our own panoramas using something similar to the google street view cameras. This ball-cam student project does exactly this. Designed by Jonas Pfeil the design requires the user to throw the cameras in the air. The ball-cam then snaps pictures on an array of mobile phone cameras at the highest point in its path. These can then be stitched to create a 360 x 360 degree panorama just like street view. The ingenious idea of putting this is a ball also gets around the problem of needing the camera to be high enough to get a good view. We'd love to try one of these out. It would be great to throw around at a big event. Imagine throwing this around the crowd in a football stadium! Hopefully Jonas can gather some interest in this and bring it to market.

You can see more information on his site here and see a video of it in action after the jump.
