Back in April 2014 I backed a Kickstarter projected called “Meet OTTO – The Hackable GIF Camera” and finally last month THEY DELIVERED.
The idea was for a camera that takes photos, one frame at a time, and makes animated GIF files as its output. The camera itself came in a fantastic blue case.
So now it’s onto the path of creativity!
What this Kickstarter project shows is how with small Arduino-style technology, the world of gadgets is within your grasp. Here’s a small figure from Archie McPhee’s in Seattle turning around:
The key to using OTTO is to get your creative juices flowing, even in ordinary situations. This kind of product is new, fun, creative and a sign of what is to come by distributing computing elements in all kinds of things.
