The Verge mentions that a Reddit user by the name of Abhishek Singh designed a DIY camera that prints GIFs instantly for your viewing pleasure. Technically there is no printing involved, but the device ejects a small LCD cartridge containing the recorded-GIF. The device was 3D printed with the camera and cartridge each housing a Raspberry Pi inside.
Gimmicky as all hell and you can build one for your teenager with the build plan over here.
I built a camera that snaps a GIF and ejects a little cartridge so you can hold a moving photo in your hand! I’m calling it the “Instagif NextStep”.
