Flickr Umbrella Anyone? … Anyone?

By Chris Garrett | Published September 22, 2006

Ever wanted to view Flickr photographs while in a downpour? Or how about an umbrella-mounted camera? Um … no, me neither. But some plucky inventors/artists/mad people have invented such a thing! Erm, neat … ish.

The system is constructed by the Pileus Umbrella and the Pileus WebService. User can see and take a photo and video with the PileusUmbrella. User can hand on own experience in rainy day to next user with an umbrella type photoset. User Connects the Grip with the Screen, then the Grip reads the Screen’s ID and login to own Pileus Account. When user takes photos or videos, Pileus WebService evaluates media-type of data and uploads it to Flickr or YouTube, and then set a tag by screen ID. In addition, user twists the grip, it searches contents at Flickr and YouTube by tag of screen ID, and displays contents in order.
