And perhaps one day, it will even see the light of retail day
According to Gizmodo, designer Matty Martin has come up with a way of limiting the post-photography expenditure. The Punch Camera, recently shown off at Intel University Design Expo, doesn?t use ink to transfer happy snaps to hard copy. Instead, the aptly named Punch Camera transfers shots by way of physically indenting images into paper.
The image is first converted into half-tone, the puncturing mechanism aligns the dots perfectly so as to recreate the image on paper. From here you insert the paper, punch with gusto, and hey presto, a uniquely captured memory. The only question now is whether we will ever see it on retail shelves; let?s hope so.
