New Art Blurs Line Between Real And Simulation for Utahns

Movies and television shows have inspired real life products like video calls in Blade Runner are now commonplace. Dick Tracy’s smart watch is sold at Walmart. And now the magic of Harry Potter can come to your picture frame.

New Product Changes the Picture on the Wall

One of the new products introduced at CES was the Fraimic Smart E Ink Canvas. This is a picture frame that hangs on the wall displaying famous art. Seems pretty straight forward until you find out that by talking to it, you can easily change it to another painting.

This is right out of Harry Potter. This thing looks like the original art painted by the artist. Get as close as you want, and all you can see is the brush strokes on the canvas and places where the paint soaked into the paper.

No need to buy the original or try to find a numbered print; it is as simple as scrolling paintings on your phone and selecting one. Change them every day to fit your mood. It is all done electronically.

Here’s What It Costs to Bring Magic into Your Home

No need to go to some wizarding school, just cough up anywhere from $399 to $999 bucks depending on the size you want, and it is yours. Art that changes on the wall with a wave of the hand and some magic words.

Since it is electronic, it can’t be too long before they make it so the art can come to life. Van Goh’s Starry Night can twinkle, and Renoir's park scenes will wave back. Add some AI audio and we will be having conversations.

It does make me wonder if we will get sick of everything looking like something it isn’t. At some point maybe the new thing will be to live in the woods like Grizzly Adams and chop our own firewood.
