Apple receives patent for Apple Watch with a camera

apple-receives-patent-for-apple-watch-with-a-camera

A patent granted to Apple last week describes a smartwatch with a camera on the device’s bottom surface. While it sounds like the worst possible spot to place the camera on, as it’s pointed directly at your wrist, the patent describes a system that would make this usable in some scenarios.

The trick is in the wristband, which would have two segments, the top (together with the watch itself) being easily detachable from the bottom. So if you wanted to take a photo with your Apple Watch, you could easily detach it from your wrist, point at whatever you like, snap the photo, and clip the watch back into the wristband.

LOL, so file this in the category of stuff that gets patented and never goes any further

Nothing to see here. Moving on
