FINGER-MOUNTABLE VIDEO CAMERA

摘要

A finger-mountable video camera (100) is mountable on an individual's finger and is comprised of a mini-camera (110) and a camera adapter (120). The size and weight of the finger video camera is such that the dexterity of the individual's finger and hand are not significantly impaired, nor is the ability to access small spaces compromised. The mini-camera includes a light source, used to illuminate objects in the field of view of the camera lens, and a camera port, used to transmit video image data to another device. The camera adapter includes a camera holder (122), a camera holder base (124), and a finger ring (126). The camera holder is attached to the camera holder base, which in turn is attached to the finger ring. The camera holder base allows the camera holder to be rotated +/-60 degrees relative to the finger ring. The finger ring secures the finger-mountable video camera to an individual's finger, and is comprised of a base platform and finger securing element.
