- Fraimic is a new digital canvas fueled by AI that uses the E-ink color to display illustrations and photos
- It allows you to generate your own art via voice commands
- The project is now fully funded on Kickstarter, and production should start soon
A new e-ink smart frame and fueled by AI that allows you to create your own art with vocal prompts which has just fuck its Kickstarter funding objective.
Called Fraimic, it allows you to use simple voice commands to create art thanks to the Openai images generation model. You can also download your own photos instead.
Fraimic promises a lot, up to five years of battery life to any application and subscriptions – but like any Kickstarter project, there are warnings to consider. Here is what you need to know about this concept of opinion.
What is Fraimic and how does it work?
Fraimic is a digital intelligent canvas that uses the E-ink color instead of an LCD or OLED screen. It is essentially an e-ink frame, but it is marketed as an intelligent canvas, because the main objective is to display art, and a large part can be generated by AI.
The premise is simple: you can choose between a small 14×18 inch canvas or a larger 24 x 36 inches option. Whatever the size, the canvas really looks a lot like a real image frame on a wall.
Touching the corner of Fraimic starts the vision voice process. The videos published on Kickstarter show the founder of the project, Anthony, addressing the framework and giving him an image generation prompt. If you have already used Chatgpt or dall-e 3You already know the type of prompt that could be used here.
To watch
The whole process takes a little time (as you can see above), but slowly, the image moves and turns into art generated by the AI created on demand. The company says that the art generation is fueled by Openai and that it will prevent the so-called “AI Sols” with “style presets designed experts to raise simple prompts in breathtaking and coherent works of art”. If you don’t want works of art, you can download your own photos and art via the Fraimic website.
This is another interesting treat – the project has no application, and according to the Kickstarter, it will not. In other good news, it will not also be delivered with subscription fees, and each frame would be a single purchase.
Unlike a digital framework, Fraimic has a paper screen and it is not backlit. This should create a more natural appearance and resembling painting, but also low visibility in poor lighting conditions. Fraimic uses the Spectra 6 screen per ENK with up to 65,000 different colors.
To watch
Fraimic supports local downloads without the use of the Internet and the connection to third -party servers. However, there is a compromise, because you cannot currently exchange the image remotely; The device with which you download and Fraimic must share the same network.
The company praises a really impressive battery life for the intelligent canvas. It is said that it would only use the battery when you change art or photo, which is why the standard size framework has an estimated battery life up to five years. You don’t need to keep it plugged in and even once the battery is exhausted, the image will remain in place and you simply cannot change it.
Despite the absence of a dedicated application, the founder of Fraimic promises the integration of assistant at home, and his API will be open to developers.
How much does Fraimic cost and how can you buy one?
Fraimic is still only a project on Kickstarter, but it is more than financed entirely. It started with a goal of $ 10,000, but when writing the editorial time, the promised amount exceeds $ 730,000.
The promise of the Kickstarter campaign offers you a framework for less than the expected PDSF. The standard frame will have a PDSF of $ 399 (about £ 300 /600 in), but the promise of promise obtains one for $ 299 (around £ 220 / $ 450); Meanwhile, large executives will normally cost $ 999 (around £ 740 / $ 1,500 in), but donors get one for $ 729 (around £ 540 / $ 1 100 in). There are also packs of frames that cost less than the PDSF.
There are a few questions
As with any Kickstarter project, it is important to be careful. Until the product is produced and shipped, it is impossible to hold it for granted; Although it is quite clear that Fraimic already has an enthusiastic audience, given the amount of money that has already been promised.
From a technical point of view, there are still some uncertainties. Some of the photos presented as Fraimic Show frames which are obviously much larger, which implies that they could be simple models at this stage. The affirmations concerning the lifespan of the battery could also be very optimistic, especially if the generation of AI is used, although it is only speculation.
The IA side of all this is something else. Some people are vehemently against the art of AI and the way in which he begins to flood the internet; Others love it. It is also easy to end up with low -quality images when IA incitement in a vague way, which could contribute to the battery discharge.
Once finished, Fraimic will be shipped worldwide (with a few exceptions). The company targeted May 2026 for shipping, but it notes that delays are possible.
