The Kano Camera Kit is the first camera you build and code yourself. Yes, you can make it do many things any normal camera can do (Zzz, booring!). Or, with Kano Code, a few simple code blocks and a little imagination, you can make it do some really, really fun things.
Here's 10 cool things by some of our Kano World community members, try some out now with Kano Code or see more things you can do with the Camera Kit on Kickstarter.
1. RANDOM COLOR FLASH

4. ALBUM COVER CAM

A filter that makes any photo you take look like a super-cool album cover, instantly. Make the text random for every shot and see what magic comes out.
5. ANGER SELFIE
by dominique
Camera + In-built mic + Kano Code
The camera automatically takes angry green selfies when you make a loud noise. The louder you are, the greener you become! Try shouting “CHEESE”. Or “BLURRRGH” (that’s the noise you make when you stick your tongue out).
6. CRITTER CAM
by brandon
Camera + Tripwire Sensor + Sense of adventure
Use the Tripwire Sensor, to snap animals in your garden at night time. See what amazing creatures sneak around under the cover of darkness.
Be even cleverer and with just a few blocks of code add live time, date and weather information, so you know exactly when the image was taken.
7. CLOUD CAM

Camera + Weather Data + Umbrella
Like beautiful photos of stormy clouds? Want to grab great snaps of sunny skies? Don’t wait around all day. With just a few code blocks and some live weather data you can make your camera automatically take pictures based on the weather.
8. CLICK TWIST DRUM MACHINE
by alexklein
Camera + Kano Code + Sense of rhythm
When is a camera not a camera? When you code it to be a drum machine. That’s right, why just take pictures with your camera, why not code it to create music too?!
9. FREE FALL CAM
By kevinmurphy
Camera + Tilt Sensor + Good hands
Plug in the Tilt Sensor. Throw your camera into the air and see the amazing photos it snaps on it’s way down, thanks to the accelerometer. Then catch your camera. Or miss it and feel sad.
