Camera from Polaroide will print videos instantaneously

The creation brings a video printer attached to “revel” the image and sound. Instead of paper, the camera uses a touch screen layer.
The new concept is based on a combination of instant-print film technology and a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon rings called Graphene.

In theory, the top layer of the printout would hold moving pictures, and embedded speakers would provide sound. The prints themselves would be powered by shaking them (“like a Polaroid picture,” of course), as would the camera.

To see the picture you can visit digg.com and here is the link:

Utter rubbish. Shaking to generate energy for what is essentially an MP4 player? As today is Feb 23rd, I'd say that is just over a month and a bit early to be reported.

Why would anyone want a combi digital camera and printer? That's the best any of these devices can be-- a tiny photo-printer hardwired to a digital-camera, meaning you have to carry around a camera with both the paper and ink (or whatever it uses) to spit out a hard-copy.

This is just silly. If you want instant(ish) photos, take your memory card to some high-street photo-shop which will print out any of the photos on it. Don't use some crazy camera with a poor quality printer attached to it which is sure to cost a fortune in consumables to run.

The point is with this 'concept' camera that it prints out little cards that play video, much like recent american magazines with embedded video, only, using nano technology to make a truly flexible 'video card' - sounds like a winner if the technology was there to make such a gadget, imagine xmas cards to granny with embedded video of the grandchildren, or 'harry potter' style pics in frames!


ps. think how the porn industry would exploit this technology

These camera/printers are very helpful for some people, making up employee ID cards etc without poncing around with a computer. Granted, they're not for everyone, but it's ludicrous to suggest that everyone trots down to the local photo shop. They're niche products. The moving picture version would have novelty value.

The problem with the moving picture version is that the technology for it is very much unproven. I know that bendable display prototypes have been shown, but there's a long way to go between that and some sort of kinetic-energy powered printable movie display. A flexible printable movie display might be possible in ten years perhaps, but we are a long way from it currently. As for one which could be powered by shaking it, I think twenty years is more likely.
