The document discusses ideas for camera concepts generated by students using play dough. Some ideas included wanting to share photos with family and friends, have photos displayed in frames, send photos to other devices, and take photos that can only be viewed under certain conditions like in sunlight. It also discusses potential game concepts like scavenger hunts where students take photos around their environment and share with friends who try to find and photograph the same things. Developing new ways for social and tangible photo sharing experiences are discussed.
