The device is the first portable, authentic camera lucida to be manufactured in nearly a century and it’s only $30.</b><br /><br />Beginning in the early 17th century, artists routinely used optical aids to help them create realistic drawings. Lenses and mirrors were the "cutting edge technology" of their day (and sometimes, the trade secret) for making life-like images. In 1807, Sir William Hyde Wollaston invented the Camera Lucida—and brought life-drawing to a whole new level.<br /><br />In short, a camera lucida allows you to trace what you see. And it does so in full daylight; there's no need for a dark shroud or box, as with a Camera Obscura. And that is the magic of the camera lucida: it's portable, easy to use, and—with a little practice—you just copy the world onto your page with a confident hand. </div>
