ReFrame – 电子墨水屏相机
reFrame is an experimental camera with a color ePaper display. Designed to capture and display one photo at a time, making every frame deliberate and memorable. reFrame 是一款采用彩色电子墨水屏（ePaper）的实验性相机。它的设计初衷是每次只拍摄并显示一张照片，让每一帧画面都变得深思熟虑且令人难忘。
reFrame’s ePaper display has six pigments, so photos are dithered before they display on the screen. The dithered photos look somewhere between a newspaper halftone and an old video game. The processing is part of the fun: you watch the colors come in one by one, like a digital polaroid. reFrame 的电子墨水屏拥有六种颜料，因此照片在显示前会经过抖动（dithering）处理。抖动后的照片呈现出一种介于报纸半色调印刷和复古电子游戏之间的视觉效果。处理过程本身就是乐趣的一部分：你可以看着颜色逐一显现，就像一张数字拍立得照片。
After you press the shutter, each photo takes 15 seconds to fully appear. The display uses electrical charges to physically move ink particles into place. With ePaper, the photo on screen stays there even after powering off. The only way to clear the screen is to take a new photo. 按下快门后，每张照片需要 15 秒才能完全显现。显示屏利用电荷物理移动墨水颗粒来呈现图像。得益于电子墨水技术，即使在关机后，屏幕上的照片依然会保留。清除屏幕的唯一方法就是拍摄一张新照片。
When not in use, reFrame doubles as a desk photo frame. Your last photo stays on screen, and the processing gives each image a unique, almost print-like quality. With the help of APOSSIBLE, we sent the camera to four professional photographers around the world. Stories in Ink: Denisse Ariana Perez, Douglas Eveleigh, Marco Galloway, Olya Oleinic. 在不使用时，reFrame 可以当作桌面相框。最后拍摄的照片会一直停留在屏幕上，而图像处理过程赋予了每张照片独特的、近乎印刷品的质感。在 APOSSIBLE 的帮助下，我们将这款相机寄给了全球四位专业摄影师，记录下他们的“墨水故事”（Stories in Ink）：Denisse Ariana Perez、Douglas Eveleigh、Marco Galloway 和 Olya Oleinic。
Build your own reFrame: reFrame’s hardware and software are open source. The camera uses only off-the-shelf components, so you can build one yourself. Everything you need is on GitHub. 打造你自己的 reFrame：reFrame 的硬件和软件均为开源。该相机仅使用现成的市售组件，因此你可以亲手制作一台。所有你需要的文件都可以在 GitHub 上找到。
