This device is called the Touchy. It's some sort of human camera and it was created by Hong Kong new media artist Eric Siu.

The device can be worn like a helmet, and is shaped like an old school camera, and is attached to a small globe called the Touchy Bulb. When the bulb and the wearer is touched at the same time for 10 seconds, it sends a signal to the helmet and a photo is taken.

After the photo is taken, the image can be viewed on the helmet's rear-mounted 3.5-inch LCD screen. Gimmicky. Artsy too.

The project is not for sale though. It seems that it's more of an experiment in social interaction facilitated by technology. Check it out in action in the video below:
