A Digital Camera Where You Physically Pull the Photo Out as an E-Paper Cartridge

Camera with Digital Film – Strange Inventions Lab

Camera with Digital Film lets you physically pull the captured image out of the camera as a cartridge. A Raspberry Pi 3 A+ and 5 MP camera write each shot to a removable module containing a 1.54-inch four-color e-paper display.

The cartridge can then be displayed as a physical photograph. Because it is e-paper, the image remains visible without power and can later be overwritten. Modern digital hardware brings back one very specific analog pleasure: taking the picture out of the camera.

ファニトロちゃん:ひらめき

Digital cameras spent years eliminating film, and now the joy of pulling the picture out has come back around. A very elegant detour.
