Underabove is a two-eyed camera, designed to float twixt air and water and snap photos of both worlds simultaneously. The concept design, shaped much like a pair of conjoined bowling-pins, is weighted with water so it will float in the sea like an iceberg, only with just 50% of its body pulled underwater by the liquid ballast.
The camera, designed by In Kyung Han, has a lens in each end, both of which snap a picture when you trip the shutter or use the self-timer, which is set by a dial around the upper neck. There's also an LED screen for framing and reviewing pictures, and even a flash for filling shadows or capturing your night-time skinny-dipping. And of course, the whole thing is waterproof.
It's a fun idea, but a rather specialist, not to mention bulky, solution. How hard is it really to quickly grab a shot above and below the waves with a regular waterproof compact? On the other hand, it is cute, and would make a great bath-toy. Although in that case you might want to switch the camera off first.
