An early #Hackster round-up today, as I'm actually ahead of the game for a change.

First up, a lovely #RaspberryPi-powered 3D-printable pocket camera - yes, yes, another one, but this one's got a twist: in-body film emulation, processed entirely on-device. (And it saves the RAWs as well, so you can easily undo it if you change your mind!)

The SATURNIX Is a Slick, Raspberry Pi-Powered Pocket Camera with Built-In Film Simulation

Fancy a bit of Kodak Gold, or Fujifilm 400? Are you more of a Tri-X 400? This clever camera offers all these and more, in-body.

LooperRobotics Insight 9 standalone spatial AI camera features D-Robotics RDK X5 SoC, supports ROS 2 (Crowdfunding)

LooperRobotics Insight 9 is an autonomous plug-and-play spatial AI camera designed for embodied intelligence, quadruped robots, and dynamic mobile platforms. Compared to typical USB depth cameras like Intel RealSense D435i or Luxonis OAK-D, which rely on a host PC for processing, the Insight 9 integrates a D-Robotics RDK X5 octa-core Cortex-A55 processor with a 10 TOPS AI accelerator, allowing it to run Visual SLAM (V-SLAM) and depth mapping entirely on-device. The camera features a "Tri-Eye Perception Matrix," which includes an 8.4MP Sony Starvis IMX415 RGB sensor with an ultra-wide 188° field of view, and two SmartSens SG0132 global shutter sensors for stereoscopic depth. Encased in a passively cooled CNC aluminum chassis, it is also equipped with an automotive-grade Bosch BMI088 IMU capable of 24g high-G tracking, making it suitable for the heavy vibrations of legged locomotion. LooperRobotics Insight 9 specifications: SoC – D-Robotics RDK X5 octa-core Arm Cortex-A55 processor @ 1.5 GHz;

That was enough to trigger #surveillance by the notorious #secretpolice of #communist #Romania, the #Securitate.

Now, 41 years after #photojournalist #EdwardSerotta boldly stepped behind the #IronCurtain, we can see just how obsessed the #Romanians were with him, thanks to a short #documentary by renowned #Romanian #director #RaduJude and #historian #AdrianCioflâncă.

“Plan contraplan/Shot Reverse Shot,” which had its world premiere at the #Berlinale international #film festival last month, gives equal time to #Serotta’s reminiscences about Romania in the 1980s, and to the Securitate’s observations of him."

Hugging Face’s Reachy Mini is an open-source AI robot for your computer or Raspberry Pi CM4

Better known for its artificial intelligence software solutions, Hugging Face unveiled the Reachy Mini open-source desktop robot last year. It is designed to deploy AI applications that interface with the physical world. The robot features a camera, four microphones, and a speaker, and can move its 6 DoF (degrees of freedom) head, rotate its body, or wave its antennas thanks to nine servo motors. Two versions are available: the Reachy Mini Lite designed for computers running Mac, Linux, and Windows, and the Reachy Mini Wireless autonomous robot, powered by a Raspberry Pi CM4, adding WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, an accelerometer, and battery support. Both models share most of the same specifications: Reachy Mini's SDK can be found on GitHub. It's based on Python, but also supports JavaScript and Web apps, and can integrate with LLMs to easily build apps and publish them to Hugging Face. The SDK also features several
