Not to knock this project, which seems well executed, but I'm always a bit ambivalent about digital frames. Sure it's kind of neat to to be able to have changing images, or at least be able to easily push new images to the frame, but they're always so impractical.
You either have a wire you have to hide, or you have to remember to charge the frame regularly. All that costs energy. Then of course it's always backlit, which seems odd. Do I really want a glowing rectangle on my walls? Not really. It kind of kills the vibe. Perhaps eink would be better, but beating dyed paper is hard.
- manachar 10y agoYeah, until the glowing rectangle problem goes away I'm not going to be too thrilled about digital frames.
- flukus 10y agoThey make great gifts though, then the downsides are someone elses problem.
- peterclary 10y agoClay Bavor addressed that problem using photodiodes so that the picture never seemed brighter than the surroundings. It really helped sell that it was a normal picture. https://www.claybavor.com/?p=407 https://www.claybavor.com/?p=407
