Something I’d like to see.

I’m not really a huge fan of the digital photo frames. Oh, they’re cool, and they’re vivid, but they’re like the worst of both worlds – they’ve lost the timelessness of photography and the animation of our typical digital displays (TVs and monitors).

What I want is a sort of hybrid between a Second Life photoframe and a Harry Potter photoframe.

Check out this video of Jane M. talking to boingboing:

See, imagine that, but using some sort of high-resolution reference.

Let’s say you throw a person into a booth that’ll take 360-degrees of pictures (frankly, 5 shots would probably be enough) which were then put on a wireframe model and animated inside a photo frame.

I would love that. I’d have a frame of lucy that would give me the gopher face once in awhile, one of melanie that would wink elaborately, carrie looking suave, K.T. being silly in some way …

Anyway. That’s what I want.

  1. I hear ya. A digital frame loses the signficance of the moment in the photograph.

  2. Shouldn’t be hard to do, what with all the apps that already generate a panorama from a few photos that match at the edges. To the lab!
