Wigglegram Camera

current release

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle! 😜There’s so much more to your photobooth-app than you can imagine!

Starting with version 8.5, the photobooth-app introduces an incredible new feature: wigglegrams created through seamless integration with the wigglecam nodes. Several nodes form a camera array that captures a scene from slightly different perspectives.

This technique lets you shoot stunning photos using multiple cameras arranged in perfect sync — all firing at the same time.

The result? An awesome short animated image with a breathtaking 3D effect. Just picture it... see yourself!

Browse through the other documents to get the full idea, how to build and setup the camera array to create wigglegrams.

Info

This is in early development. It works but things are likely to change until all stabilizes.

😍 Features

  • 💨 Reference Setup to start

    Use the reference setup to get started quickly. You can always add more cameras later.

    Build the hardware

  • 🤖 Orchestrate using Ansible

    Although each camera in the array uses a dedicated Pi Zero, Ansible simplifies maintenance by keeping all nodes up to date.

    Installation

  • 📸 Raspberry Pi Camera supported

    For now, the nodes support Raspberry Pi cameras. It's designed to be extendable, so a DSLR could be added in the future.

  • 🎇 Virtual Mode

    You don't need the full hardware available to tinker around and set up. As with the photobooth-app, there is an image generator to test the setup.

  • 🪝 Hook up with your photobooth-app

    After installing the wigglecam software on each camera node, users can create awesome wigglegrams using the photobooth-app.
