Revised (Final) Prototype:

After testing the first prototype we went back to the drawing board to make some adjustments. First, we decided to enlarge the frame to accommodate the entire Polaroid and not just the image portion. Next, after testing the Neopixels and translucent acrylic, we determined that the LED's needed to sit 10mm from the edge of the acrylic to give the correct light effect. Using this as a guide, we revised the frame, and added some internal tabs for the plywood component to allow for a tight press fit that would keep the device closed, but still operable. Last, we developed two types for the devices, one wall mounted, and one desk mounted. The difference between the two devices rests in how they meet the horizontal plane. In the desk mounted version, the device is raised off of the horizontal surface to allow an even cast of light on all sides.
