No indication as to the maker but it caught my eye including it's potential for wheelchair users and other disabled photographers.

I can only surmise that it includes some method of firing the shutter ???

It's probably a James Bond-style machine gun disguised as a camera!

That reminds me of a piece I read about experiments with a gunner's helmet.

The idea was that the helmet included a sight, which was synchronised to the gun and turret. I don't know if the idea went anywhere but the Israelies seem to have taken the basic idea in a slightly different direction...

IronVision Helmet Provides Sight Through Armored Tanks

Elbit Systems is debuting a sensor-fused system that allows tank commanders to essentially see through walls.

IIRC the helicopter gun ships like the Apache have just that function i.e. the gun points where the pilot is looking!

It would not surprise me at all if the A2A missiles had such launch aiming as well as HUD target acquisition
