Memorascope 2

Memorascope is a project I did at college, but I never really got to make the thing to a standard that I was happy with. A litttle while ago I started remaking it a little bit at a time and I think its getting there.

Its a viewer for montaging your photos over real space, therefore associating personal memories with mundane ‘Non-Places’ in order to create richer everday experiences. In theory anyway.

It uses a miniature digital photo frame, I just hijacked the buttons and changed their interaction a bit.

There’s a knob on the side attached to a cam through a bearing. Every half turn the cam triggers a tact switch (below) connected to the lcd viewers ‘next’ button and changes the photo.

Next I just need to remove the LCD’s backlight so that you can see through it and out of the devices viewfinder lens.
