摘要： A play-oriented workstation is disclosed that has a worktable where an articulatable 2-D or 3-D character is placed among scenery items, an angularly displaceable positioning arm attached to the worktable, a digital camera pivotably attached to the positioning arm and streamlined control key functions that provide creative flexibility and functional transparency. The workstation selectably displays either a real-time video feed from the digital camera in the capture mode on a video screen or else, in the display mode, a stored image that is designated as the current image in response to actuation of a mode key. Pressing a capture/confirm key in the capture mode, captures and stores an image from the video feed as a current image in memory, and re-positioning the articulatable character each time the capture/confirm key is pressed stores images that can subsequently be retrieved as a temporal sequence of stored images as a movie in display mode. Pressing the play key in display mode alternately displays the stored sequence of stored images as a movie and pauses the movie at a new current image and pressing or holding left and right arrow keys changes the current image displayed by the video screen. Alternatively, after the delete key is pressed the arrow keys select whether one or more images will be deleted and the capture/confirm key enables the action selected by the delete key. Image sequences can be exported by the controller from working memory to portable storage such as SD/MMC cards. Sound effects and voice-overs can be imported from pre-recorded SD/MMC cards or recorded and exported to an SD/MMC card for archival storage and sound effect selector keys are provided for selecting individual sound effects.
