In 1948, the Polaroid Land Camera first introduced to consumers the wonders of instant photography and the ability to snap a picture, process and print a photographic image almost instantly in one compact camera. Using the same Polaroid classic border and color spectrum logos as the late 1970’s Polaroid One Step Land camera (2003.0191), the Polaroid Socialmatic concept camera continues with the concept of ‘instant photography’ but in the digital age. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth web-connected device enables users to share their photos in print or digitally through any social media platform. The camera itself also has a similar form factor as the Instagram logo. En 1948, le "Polaroid Land Camera" a présenté pour la première fois aux consommateurs les merveilles de la photographie instantanée et la possibilité de prendre une photo, de la traiter et de l'imprimer presque instantanément dans un seul appareil compact. Reprenant les mêmes logos Polaroid classiques de bordure et de spectre de couleurs que le "Polaroid One Step Land Camera" de la fin des années 1970 (2003.0191), l'appareil photo conceptuel Polaroid Socialmatic perpétue le concept de "photographie instantanée", mais à l'ère du numérique. L'appareil connecté au web par Wi-Fi et Bluetooth permet aux utilisateurs de partager leurs photos en version imprimée ou numérique via n'importe quelle plateforme de médias sociaux. L'appareil lui-même a une forme similaire à celle du logo Instagram. - Function

This all-in-one device almost instantly prints photos on ink-free paper using proprietary ZINK technology (zero ink) and an integrated printer to reproduce 2”x3” photos. The Socialmatic is also a fully web-based Android OS camera that uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to allow users pair to their mobile device, connect and share photos instantly using popular apps on several ‘clouded’ social media platforms such as Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram to name a few. Cet appareil tout-en-un imprime presque instantanément des photos sur du papier sans encre grâce à la technologie propriétaire ZINK (zéro encre) et à une imprimante intégrée pour reproduire des photos de 2 "x3". Le Socialmatic est également un appareil photo Android OS entièrement basé sur le web qui utilise le Wi-Fi et le Bluetooth pour permettre aux utilisateurs de coupler leur appareil mobile, de se connecter et de partager des photos instantanément à l'aide d'applications populaires sur plusieurs plateformes de médias sociaux "dans le nuage" telles que Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook ou Instagram, pour n'en citer que quelques-unes. - Area Notes
