You can have eyes in the back of your head, with this design concept whose five 28mm lenses record 360-degree horizontal and 270-degree vertical perimeter. The design would incorporate a large-capacity PCMCIA memory card to lengthen battery time and reduce size and weight. A soft gum grip that can rotate 360 degrees eases carrying and use by either right- or left-handed people. The basic shapes and magnesium case provide a warm, comfortable look that would encourage use.

" I see this wonderful submission as being realistically visionary, conceptually artful and very beneficial to camcorder users. I love the ability to record the image well-beyond the object being viewed, and the product's marriage of very simple usability with the option of higher levels of use sophistication for those who desire more image editing control."
