Instagram's
great. But have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience it
outside the digital world? Snap a photo, select a filter and then — not
tweet it, but — print it out to physically share? A new company called Socialmatic is hoping to make it a reality.
We've seen this cool design before, but now Socialmatic announced a branding deal with Polaroid for an Instagram-esque camera that lets you add filters to and instantly print your photos.
The device, which is still in its concept stage, dispenses photos from a built-in Zink printer
— similar to a regular Polaroid camera. It additionally includes Wi-Fi
and Bluetooth chips, a 4.3-inch touchscreen and a custom operating
system that syncs to both Instagram and Facebook apps.
