Someone built a Raspberry Pi camera with four lenses for cool 'wobbly' photos
A hobbyist has constructed a custom camera system using four Raspberry Pi Zero 2W units to capture synchronized images from slightly different angles. By merging these frames into a GIF, the device creates a 'wigglegram' effect that mimics the frozen-time visuals popularized by the movie The Matrix. The main unit coordinates the camera nodes over Wi-Fi and features a battery life of approximately two hours, though no build instructions have been released yet.
- ▪The camera system consists of four Raspberry Pi Zero 2W devices with hardware-synchronized lenses.
- ▪The resulting images are merged into a GIF to produce a real-time wobble effect similar to The Matrix.
- ▪A main Raspberry Pi unit manages synchronization and communication with the other nodes via Wi-Fi.
- ▪The device includes a 0.91-inch OLED status display and a 1.14-inch rear display for live preview.
- ▪The creator has not yet published any GitHub links or build files for the project.
