    Abhishek Singh on Imgur

    Abhishek wrote: "I built a camera that snaps a GIF and ejects a little cartridge so you can hold a moving photo in your hand! I'm calling it the "Instagif NextStep". It sounded like a fun challenge; I always wanted to hold a moving photo."

    Was inspired by the Polaroid OneStep, says Abhishek

    Simply put Instagif ejects a Polaroid film-sized LCD screen that plays the captured GIF. The GIF also gradually fades in just like a Polaroid photograph. However, the screen can retain the GIF only until another is recorded. Abhishek built the hand-designed, 3D-printed camera from scratch in four weeks. For those interested in making their own Instagif, he documented the entire DIY process on Imgur.

    Singh built robot that responds in GIFs

    In Jan'17, Abhishek built a robot "Peeqo" that could entirely communicate via GIFs along with its regular Alexa conversations. About his robot, he said, "Peeqo sits at the intersection of three things I really love: building things, animated movies, and GIFs."
