A Raspberry Pi-powered photo frame using a WaveShare 7.5 inch HD e-ink display.
The motivation behind this project stemmed from a desire to utilize an e-ink display, known for its low power consumption and paper-like appearance, ideal for creating a minimalist home decor piece that seamlessly integrates into any environment. Inspired by the concept of slow technology, which emphasizes mindfulness and deliberate interaction with devices, the project aims to offer a serene and unobtrusive way to display a rotating gallery of images. This setup not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the space but also encourages a more contemplative viewing experience compared to traditional digital displays.
