GBG 8 camera pistol

The brainchild of one Dmitry Morozov, the GBG-8 Game Boy photo gun is capable of shooting and printing instant photographs in retro style blocky 8-bit images in Polaroid style prints. He used an Arduino, an open source computer hardware and software company, project, and user community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control objects in the physical world. For the techno geek looking for a project to keep them busy for a few weekends, this might be just what you are looking for. Its a photo gun which has been created using an Arduino, a few Game Boy accessories, including a Game Boy thermal printer. After you aim at a subject, pressing the trigger then immediately prints out a classic blocky 8-bit picture.
