Three Billion Camera phones later, the instant visual revolution

6Sight Conference, Nov. 9, 2007

Monterey, Calif.
Philippe Kahn, will discuss how his vision to instantly share pictures of his new born daughter led to the development of the first camera-phone solution in 1997. Philippe’s vision for instant visual communications has now been realized with over 2 billion camera-phones in use every day.

The camera-phone has empowered everyday people and has had a profound impact on society. Today camera-phones are recognized critical tools for social networking, citizen-journalism, and business
communications.

As technology marches forward, miniaturization and new image capturing devices will bring new capabilities to mobile phones. As we approach three billion camera phones deployed (a camera phone for one of every two people on the planet), what does the future hold for the device that created the instant visual communications revolution?
