Kodak could be about to digitise the humble photo locket if it embraces a concept design by American industrial designer Lindsey Pickett.
Called the 1881, the pocket-sized digital camera aims to make technology look like something from a different era rather than trying to be uber-futuristic in its design.
According to Pickett, it's a "High tech device hidden in a low tech disguise".
Inspired by the emotional connection and careful framing of locket photos, 1881 strives to create a more precious medium through which to share your memories, whether at home or on the street.
Favourite photos are displayed every time you open, for quick peeks.
