Mint Digital, the creators of the Foldable.Me characters you can create and which we featured here on Geeky Gadgets back in October, have today launched a new Kickstarter campaign for their latest creation: a tiny Instagram project called Projecteo.
The tiny Projecteo projector allows you to view Instagram photos using a 35mm slide film you create online, with each one holding nine images. Watch the video after the jump to learn more about the Projecteo project and see it in action.
How Projecteo Works
“We’ve developed a process to get your Instagrams onto a single frame of 35mm Kodak film stock, which is cut into a circle and fits snugly inside a wheel. To change wheels, just gently pull it out and place the next one in the slot. You will be able to collect as many wheels as you like.”
The process of creating your own Projecteo reel is simple and user-friendly. First, you select your favorite Instagram photos through the Projecteo website. These photos are then printed onto a single frame of 35mm Kodak film, renowned for its high quality and durability. The film is cut into a circular shape and inserted into a small wheel that fits perfectly into the Projecteo projector. This innovative design allows users to easily swap out wheels, making it possible to create and view multiple reels of cherished memories.
Support and Pledges
The Projecteo project is currently over on the Kickstarter website, looking to raise enough pledges to make the jump from concept to production. The team behind Projecteo has set various pledge levels, each offering different rewards. For instance, early backers can secure a Projecteo unit at a discounted price, while higher pledge levels may include additional reels or even custom-designed Projecteo units.
So if you think Projecteo is something you could benefit from, visit the Kickstarter website now to make a pledge and help Projecteo become a reality. By supporting this project, you are not only helping bring a unique and nostalgic product to market but also joining a community of like-minded individuals who appreciate the blend of modern technology and classic film.
Potential Uses and Benefits
Projecteo is not just a gadget; it’s a way to bring your digital memories into the physical world. Imagine using Projecteo at family gatherings to share vacation photos, or at parties to showcase fun moments with friends. It can also serve as a unique gift, allowing you to create personalized reels for loved ones. The compact size of the Projecteo makes it highly portable, so you can easily carry it with you and share your memories anywhere, anytime.
Moreover, Projecteo taps into the growing trend of nostalgia for analog devices. In an age where digital screens dominate, Projecteo offers a refreshing way to experience photos in a tangible format. It combines the convenience of digital photography with the charm of traditional slide projectors, making it a perfect blend of old and new.
