What made Polaroid cameras so special was the fact that anyone could get instant satisfaction of viewing a picture. Designer Kim Hyun Joong has taken that to the next level by introducing the idea of creating a Polariod-type camera that can print video clips onto a flexible display material. This technology would require a special technology called “graphene” which is currently being studied for the implementation of electronics.

This technology is similar to the futuristic newspapers seen in Harry Potter. Except graphene is made up of carbon rings one atom thick, not magic. This concept would “print” both audio and video components onto a flexible film paper which could then be seen immediately after being printed.

It’ll be interesting to see where else this technology could be implemented into. We could use this technology to produce video clips in textbooks, advertisements, video games, the possibilities are endless. The issue is whether scientists can produce this technology at an affordable price.
