The Device and its various components, in their RAW state...PART 4 (#5)

#5

This Device would, for me, cause the most curiosity. It is placed in position on the ground, looking to the sky, it has a camera and a cable with a click button that would be apparent for operating the device, so basically, from a normal person's perspective, this would appear to be a digital camera of sorts, it's aerial would be maybe for remote access or to send data, well I can tell you it would send data AND could be used for remote access. but it was designed the way it was meant to be used, flat and not used by hand, this is where it gets more interesting, it is set in a position facing the sky with no obstructions.
so pictures taken by this device could only be for photographs of the sky.
When creating this device, I came up with a keyword that I could use and referre to as the projects name, this gives me some direction in which the device could be for.
Here is the logo for the device and this project.The Idea behind the sky camera is for the devices attachment.
All the devices relate to something in particular, A tree, sounds weird but run with it a minuite, this all came about when Kira (on the MA course) mentioned that I would be interesting if the device was plugged into a tree, well she was right but I did explore the relationship this device could have with a tree.
The theory behind it is interesting and has good contrast, for example, a tree is the complete opposite to a mechanical device, a tree is natural and at the same time a device in its own, natures device, it consumes carbon dioxide and creates oxygen through the power of the sun, it has very small electrical signals running through it, like a machine, but because its organic, it can repair itself and requires little maintenance.
The full story behind the device I will reveal in a later post.
but for now the device you just saw takes photo's of the sky, and transmits data via the antenna.
You also might have noticed the direct output to TV ports on the side of the device, to also help describe the object, it was all very well thought out.

*Two images of a previous design for this device*
like all aspects of the device, they went through various forms to come out where they are now, this is due to my specifications of design and functionality without looking too familiar.
