Antonio De Rosa, the Italian designer behind the stunning iPhone 5 mockup Design released in March, has created yet another concept design, this time of a real-life Instagram camera modelled after the app's icon.
According to a post on ADR Studio's site, this Instagram concept camera offers 16GB of storage, a touchscreen display, optical zoom and WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities.
But the concept is cool because of the features that bring the social part of Instagram to life. With its two lenses, one for main capture and another for 3D fliters, webcam applications and QR code-capturing, you can snap and edit pics the way you would using the Instagram app and then post them straight to Facebook.
Alternatively, you can print them out, Polaroid-style, using the camera's internal printer; each picture pops out with your Instagram username, a QR code that links back to your Instagram profile.
The photos would also have a Post-It-like adhesive strip that would let people plaster them about the brick-and-mortar world and a space to write a comment.
"I've thought about the possibility to translate in the real life the social power of Instagram and Facebook together, with some 'physical' features, like image printing," wrote De Rosa in an email to The Huffington Post.
The Instagram Socialmatic Camera is just a concept for now, but it seems De Rosa is raising money to turn it into a reality; he's posted the Socialmatic Camera as a project on crowdfunding website Indiegogo.
