What do kids like most? What do they love holding in their hands? Exactly, toys. In houses and in playgrounds around the world, kids everywhere are playing with toys that are sparking their imaginations and inspiring dreams.

Adults are no different. They too crave things that spark their imagination and inspire them to dream. For those who are neck-deep in work every day, more so even. So, what toys speak to the adult imagination? What toys encourage them to dream bigger dreams?
Samsung SMART CAMERAs fit the bill and here’s how.
The Miniature filter makes ordinary scenes look like toys
Who doesn’t have childhood memories of creating a magic kingdom out of blocks or whatever was at hand? Miniature cars or yachts on the sand ferried the little people of our imaginations to and fro, bringing great excitement, making us feel like Gulliver.
It gets more difficult to recreate that feeling as we grow older, but it’s not completely out of reach. In a high-rise office building, for example, our view of the outside world is confined to what we can see through the window. But with Samsung Smart filters, you can create your own kingdoms again.

The Miniature filter is the quickest way to create a miniature kingdom. It makes the object in focus look smaller, giving the impression of looking down on a model world.

See the world convexly with Fish-eye filter
Another favorite childhood toy involving miniature worlds is the magnifying glass, which offers a close up, somewhat distorted, view of all things small. Samsung Camera’s Fish-eye filter creates a similar effect. Fish eyes are dome-shaped, like convex lenses, and the Fish-eye filter offers a glimpse of what life would look like from inside a fishbowl.

With the Fish-eye filter, a familiar place turns mystical
This filter gives us a yet another way of looking at the world, like through the looking glass of childhood. Who said there are no toys for adults?
Like your family members, cameras record your history, as you grow and mature. Like friends, cameras are always with you. And like toys, cameras can spark imagination and inspire dreams. Give Samsung Smart filters a try the next time you are ready to play.
