Sacha de'Angeli, whom some of you may know through the ever-wonderful makerspace Pumping Station One, or for his (literally) Awesome Award-winning ongoing project to build a DIY spanning / tunneling electron microscope (and, really, who couldn't use one of those?) just launched a Kickstarter campaign this morning for a totally fun little gizmo called "photoboop."
What, you may ask, is a photoboop? It's a little box that you can plug into almost any camera that turns the camera into an insti-photobooth. Press a button, get in position and the camera will shoot four frames, one every three seconds. Every event planner, every event photographer, should have one of these things.
I must admit, though, that I am probably a little more partial to its other trick: time-lapse. Oh my gracious. I want to set a camera on my moonflower vine and watch it grow feet per day... My inner science geek could literally have hours of fun with this.
So even though it's more atoms than bits, photoboop is built right here in Chicago and it's tech.
Please give it some love... : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1614442645/photoboop-the-photo-robot
