Focus
A smart camera that allows users to take a focused photo
In a photo-booth scenario, this smart camera uses an ultrasonic sensor to make sure a person is in the correct position to take a focused photo. This will allow minimal time and effort in taking a good picture. ​​​​​​​

Input: The user presses a button to start the sequence of events in taking the picture. The ultrasonic sensor (red object) detects the distance the user is from the camera.
Output: An LCD Board displays a message based on the position of the user (too far, too close, or ready!). The LCD board will then count down 3...2...1...Smile! and the servo motor (atop the model) will turn to imitate a picture being taken.
