Really cool! As you are using a Raspberry Pi 3 you can add a 100% on-device Voice AI to it using https://snips.ai we would be interested to see how you can use this to add some cool interactions!

This behavior alone has convinced me to never consider their products. Which is sad, I could see myself using the product for my own projects, but I don't want to do business with spammers.

#33Very cool. If you can make that cartridge dirt cheap, you will have invented an exciting new technology. Build a V2 with cheaper tech, change your wording a bit as to what the device does, keep the polaroid link a little bit, but make it your own and then I think you'll have something that could kick ass on Kickstarter.

#34"print" = transfers image data to a removable screen "GIF" = short video
"dial" = tap light that looks like buttons on a piece of glass
Language evolves.

#35Looks more like regurgitation.
Re: A camera that snaps a GIF and ejects a cartridge that displays it
#36Why specifically the GIF format internally? I haven't seen a GIF come out of a digital camera in ... ever, actually.
In the "new lingo", GIF means a short animated image loop. See, for example, /r/gifs or Twitter's "Add a GIF" feature. A "GIF" can be in .mp4 format, for instance, so there's little connection (other than historical) with the actual GIF image protocol.
Thats not a very good excuse to continue abusing a term..

#37How about actually printing, then laminating on a lenticular surface providing a "GIF-sized" short moving-image effect? [edited per comments]
I presume you mean "lenticular" - which would be a very cool (and possibly mass-producible) alternative. I wonder how you might go about performing the lamination inside the camera... Perhaps you could feed it a pre-laminated sheet that is thin enough that it can be printed on the reverse side?

#38you said "prints" but I saw "programs"
Re: A camera that snaps a GIF and ejects a cartridge that displays it
#39Pretty neat. Crazy it uses an adhoc wifi network to communicate between the camera and the cartridge. Seems overkill for a battery powered device when they are already plugged in to each other physically.
Overkill but much easier from a technical point of view considering what was used to make the cartridge.
