DEFCON32

A fancy camera with an e-paper display and an accelerometer so you can shake it to display captured photos!

Overview

The E-Paper Polaroid Badge is was a planned Unofficial DEF CON badge featuring:

  • 4.2” E-Paper Display
  • OV2640 Camera
  • Accelerometer (Shake To Reveal, like a polaroid!)
  • SD Storage
  • Bluetooth
  • Li-Po Battery Powered with optional Full USB Bypass (for when the conference is over and you want to power it 24/7)
  • Many RGB LEDs
  • LED-based Flash
  • Ambient Light Detection

A COTS cobbled version of this design was worn at #DEFCON32.

State

Killed in the crib.

Note: I stopped working on this project after I saw that I had missed that Adafruit has an OV2640 camera that is almost the exact design I was making except with an OLED or something instead of an e-paper.

Get one of these for way cheaper instead.
