Inspiration for groundbreaking digital photo frame design traced back to the captivating world of Harry Potter.
Let's Dive into the Latest Digital Art Frame: BLOOMIN8's E-ink Canvas
E-ink technology has been around for nearly three decades, but it's been given a fresh lease of life with an influx of innovative digital art frames. The newest contender in the market is the BLOOMIN8's E-ink Canvas, which smashed its Kickstarter goal and will ship in August. But what makes it stand out?
While there are top-notch black and white e-ink frames out there, the E-ink Canvas boasts being the first full-color e-ink art frame. It's cordless, promises to run for a year on a single charge, and features a display that doesn't emit light like the best TVs on the market, delivering a paper-like display that does justice to art and photography.
Compare it to Pocketbook's InkPoster, which also claims to be the first color e-ink frame, but BLOOMIN8's art frame is undoubtedly a unique offering, thanks to some clever tech.
During a chat with the company's founder, Francis Guo, I learned about its Harry Potter origins and its 'dithering algorithm'.
