Polaroid photos can be developed from a smartphone "Polaroid Lab", expensive not to jade: product lefyou

It seems excellent that the so-called physical world always has an emotional feeling that does not exist in the digital world. We humans have spent so long in a world without screens that we prefer Polaroid photos taped to mirrors in the washbasin to photos posted on Instagram.

At least, that's what Polaroid wants. Polaroid Lab, a new photo printer from camera brand Polaroid Originals, takes photos from the smartphone screen and develops them into Polaroid photos. Yes, father's generation (or grandfather's generation? ) what comes out of the Poraloid cameras used in the 1970s are real Poraroid photos.

As a result, this is a fun way to bring digitally taken snapshots into the real world. But expensive things don't fall on the ball.

The new Polaroid Lab is the second generation of Impossible Project's "Instant Lab". Polaroid acquired Impossible Project in 2017, reviving the brand as Polaroid Originals. As a result, the trade name was changed without worrying about the trademark.

Unlike all other real-time cameras and printers we see, Polaroid Lab doesn't simply capture images from smartphones and print them via Bluetooth. In Polaroid Lab, an application that uses Polaroid Originals calls the photo to the smartphone and the screen is placed down on the Lab. Lab then takes pictures of the smartphone screen, optimizes print colors, and outputs Polaroid photos. Like previous Poralod cameras, it takes about 15 minutes to develop.

Although Lab's main focus is on simulation, it also has the ability to "embed" video in printed photos. Recently, Fuji Film provides the same function of using sound in the camera "instax mini LiPlay", which uses real-time film, but both are so incongruous that they cannot erase the impression they want to accept.

Physical print cannot be embedded in digital video, so people who want to watch video must install Polaroid Originals applications. However, it should be noted that as long as this application is installed, anyone can watch the video.

This could lead to some bad consequences associated with Prevesey. It would be even more worrying if it were not that this function is completely useless. I hope the real-time camera industry will abandon this idea.

Prev before printing is impossible.

Aside from the animation features that you want to accept, the method is very easy to use. The Polaroid Originals app can choose any media file stored on the smartphone, or you can edit the image slightly in the application (it is recommended that the image be brightened).
