Camera maker Nikon has 3D-printed a custom mount for one of its cameras that can be strapped around a dog鈥檚 neck to take pictures from the animal鈥檚 point of view. The 聽case is connected to a heart聽rate monitor that triggers the camera to snap a photo whenever the dog鈥檚 heart rate spikes.

Heart rate data is transmitted via Bluetooth to the mount鈥檚 OLED screen, so you can adjust the heart rate threshold required to fire the shutter and take a photo.聽

Nikon has not announced whether it plans to release the doggy camera-mount prototype as a consumer product.
