Context

Lifeprint is an instant photo printer that not only allows you to print live videos, but also share those printed videos using Lifeprint’s Augmented Reality Hyperphoto(TM) software app. 

Design concept

“What does the photograph of the new millennium look like?” With social media dominating the “memories” market, something important was being lost. There’s something special about holding a memory in your hand that can’t be explained or replicated on a pixelated screen. In addition for the traditional printed photos (which have been thought of as “moments frozen in time”), the outcome is a user-friendly, AR photo printer that makes printed photos come to life before our eyes.
