Instagif: A Polaroid-like camera that can instantly print GIFs!

If you always wanted Harry Potter-style moving pictures, then your wish might have just come true! Abhishek Singh of Indian-origin, a New York University - Interactive Telecommunications Program alumnus, has built a Polaroid-like instant camera "Instagif NextStep" that prints animated images! The 3D-printed camera comprises a Raspberry Pi connected to a PiTFT screen. Know more about Instagif camera, which you can also DIY!

The Instagif Camera

Just finished building a camera that snaps & instantly prints a GIF you can hold in your hand! I call it #Instagif - https://t.co/IMxL3bA7KF pic.twitter.com/2QWvQWQe8u

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."

Instagif NextStep
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.

Information
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."
