A new photo management service called Cerevo
came in fourth at the show. The company intends to provide a double-sided solution for people wanting to send and share pictures online by not only developing a new photo management site but also manufacturing a digital camera completely from scratch.
The camera will automatically send pictures users took to Cerevo’s “online photo album” via Wifi. At the same time, users are notified through a message going to their inbox. You can then send pictures stored on Cerevo servers to friends or to various social networks using email. The big idea here is that the camera is only needed to take the pictures. Users don’t need direct access to the device or files in order to share pictures with others. Cerevo claims the concept is unique on a worldwide level.
CEO Takuma Iwasa said his company (that he established after leaving Panasonic - a rare move in big company-crazy Japan) plans to sell the camera worldwide starting this summer (the project is currently in prototype status). We will stay tuned.
