A startup hardware firm, Prynt has decided to give out of the blue feel to everyone by offering such a hardware device that can print pictures from your smartphone case. You will be thinking that what I’m talking about. It sounds hard to believe, but a novice maker has made this possible by making such a beautiful case for smartphones, dubbed Prynt Case which prints the pictures which you have taken from your smartphone.
What it needs to do so? Just plug the smartphone with Prynt Case and, a simple slide can present the hard copy of your captured photo within few seconds. The firm has presented a prototype at HAXLR8R Demo Day last week and then showed the same to TechCrunch. You can see the video of the same below.
What makes it to print the picture?
The next question will rise in your mind that how a phone case can print pictures? Let me clear you, it uses Bluetooth to connect with your smartphone, and send the captured picture from smartphone to Prynt Case. And, then it will start to print the same by heating the paper inside the case, which is filled with ink.
How Prynt Case Works?
Simply click the selfie or image from your smartphone with the help of Prynt app, and then print the photo in a single slide using Prynt case. 50 seconds, and the hard copy of your photo is just in front of you. The case can hold only one paper in it at once. However, the planned consumer version will be capable to hold around 10-30 sheets and will take 30 seconds for printing. This version will also be connected physically to the handset.
It will cost $99 and will be reaching to markets in next year. This will be compatible with Android and iOS smartphones, but there is a catch. It can perform only with phones, having screen size under the range of 4.x-inch. However, Company is working on making it compatible with big devices also.
Video in an Image! Take you Unawares
If you are thinking that Prynt Case will only allow you to print images, then you are wrong. This is not the limit of this case; one more feature is also there to knock you down with feather. An augmented reality feature blesses your image’s hard copy with a hidden video. Surprisingly, the app also begins the recording of the moment when you clicked the button for capturing image and sent it to cloud.
This video can only be visible when you put the hard copy in front of your phone’s camera. It will be showing the image with Play button on smartphone screen while app is open. Tap the button and video will begin to show in handset at the place of photo. Company has also tried to keep it secure from others by hiding pixels in images. So that no one can see the video by making another copy of the hard copy.
