The
dizzying growth of the smartphone market has contributed to the spread of the
digital photography, but just like any other technological advances, it has
been done with compromises. And one of them is the death of
good old printed pictures. I think you’ll agree with me that there’s no way for
a digital picture to have the same impact as a physical one that you can hold
in your hand.
If you are familiar with Polaroid
cameras, then this will seem very simple to
operate. You just plug the smartphone into the case, snap or take an existent
picture and then just print! The device comes with its own battery, works
offline, doesn’t require a Bluetooth connection and even no ink. It is
available in white, pink or blue colors and currently sells for a limited
price of $99.
A
drawback is that each case holds only
10 sheets of paper, but refills are available through the
app, making this task quite easy. You can get one pack of photos
containing 10 sheets with each Prynt Case reward on Kick starter. Also, for
every $25 you add to your pledge, you will get 50 extra sheets.
But printing pictures isn’t the
single thing this useful gadget can make. When you are posing for a
photo, the app records a short video and stores it in the cloud. So, when you
will hold your phone over the printed image, the app will automatically scan and
recognize it, showing a short movie on screen in augmented reality.
