Instacube: A Living Canvas for your Instagram Photos

Liberating Instagram photos from your smart device, Instacube feeds your favorite images wirelessly at 3x the size.

When designing Instacube, John Whaley (D2M’s Head of Industrial Design) was inspired by the idea of creating a living canvas that pushes beautiful images to a stand-alone device as they happen — all on a big, beautiful display. No need to launch an app on your smartphone and squint at tiny images. Instacube makes enjoying your Instagrams more enjoyable than ever before.  You are now free to effortlessly enjoy, display and show-off beautiful Instagrams in your home or office, all day long.

Really brilliant and creative idea, if i had $149 to donate in order to get one of these early I would most definitely, but since i don’t, they got my $10 bucks. I like the idea that you can set a hashtag for your instacube to display, you can hashtag #sunset and wake up to all the sunset pictures across the world on instagram or just your friends. Pretty great. I’d love to see these things make it to production so if you want to donate to their kickstarter to make this happen, do it
