Introducing the Prynt Case, the Smartphone Case That Prints Physical Photos With Secret Videos Hidden Inside Them
First-of-its-kind smartphone case uses augmented reality technology
to print physical photos that play videos
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Prynt,
a technology company reimagining the way we share digital content in the
physical world, today announced that the Prynt Case, a
first-of-its-kind, photo-printing smartphone case, is now shipping out
to original Kickstarter backers and is available for purchase this
holiday season. The case is designed to bring life to memories in an
entirely new way via an augmented reality video experience.
The Prynt Case allows users to print physical photographs right from
their phone. Each physical photograph also has a 6-second video hidden
within it, which is recorded by the user through the app. Then, anyone
with the app can point their phone screen at the printed photo and watch
it come to life. The augmented reality technology instantly kicks in,
overlaying and autoplaying the video within the frame of the printed
photo.
“We wanted to bring back that nostalgia from the days when photos were
something to be treasured, but in a way that is relevant to the 21st
century and digital world. When everyone has a great camera in their
pocket, we tend to take too many pictures and forget about them,” said
Clément Perrot, co-founder and CEO of Prynt. “There’s something magical
about being able to hold a physical photograph in your hand, but then
relive and pass on that moment as a secret keepsake to someone special.”
The case originally began as a Kickstarter campaign in early 2015, and
gained traction as one of the 30
most successfully funded technology Kickstarters, as well as the
most successful French company on Kickstarter. Now, just in time for the
holidays, Prynt is the perfect gift for tweens, teens, millennials, and
the selfie and Instagram-savvy people in your life. Orders placed by
December 17 (or December 19 with priority shipping) will ship by
Christmas, while supplies last.
Prynt offers a seamless experience with no wires, ink, Bluetooth, or
cords, and is available for Samsung and iPhone. Kickstarter backers will
begin receiving their cases this week, and Prynt Case is now available
for purchase at www.pryntcases.com/cart
for $149. The Prynt app is available for anyone to download and view
their hidden videos on Android and iOS.
