When a bouncing ball and camera unite

The name satuGO probably doesn't appear familiar to you, but it sounds to us like we've to redefine the rules of playing hide-and-seek once this concept becomes a reality. If you still don't know what we're talking about, satuGO is short for See Aim Throw captUre & GO. Still clueless? Click on the red ball to find out more.

What happens when you fuse a bouncing ball and a camera into one? You get satuGO--the size of a tennis ball with a 3-megapixel camera at your mercy. Positioned as a fun alternative compared with traditional means of photography, satuGo is rugged enough to survive bumps, hits and water. Two ways on how to snap a picture: You can cue the ball to take a photo either by setting a timer or allow it to hit a surface, whereupon it captures an image.

Did we mention the camera functions as a Webcam as well? And it charges by USB. Don't expect any 3-inch LCD or zooming capabilities on satuGO for you're not going to get it--period. To see your pictures, you will have to connect it to a personal computer.

We were rubbing our hands in glee and already plotting an office war with our other departments until we realized that satuGO is currently still a concept product. So much for jungle warfare and one more weapon in our arsenal.
