Nix Digital have created the first ever motion sensing digital photo frame which will switch itself on when you pass within 2.5 metres in front of it. The interval timer can be set from between 1 minute to 24 hours before the photo frame switches itself off again. Alternatively, you can use the provided remote control to switch on the photo frame whenever you want it on!
The large 10inch digital display will randomly cycle through your photos stored on the internal 1GB memory. You just need a USB cable to transfer the photos onto the digital frame’s internal storage. Alternatively, you can also use SD, SDHC, xD, Sony MS, USB Stick Compatible memory cards to display photos on the photo frame.
There are a couple more cool features about this digital picture frame, such as if you turn the frame through 90 degrees (e.g. from landscape to portrait), the photo image will automatically rotate to match the orientation of the frame. You can also have up to 4 photos displaying on the frame at once using the split-screen function.
The great thing about this gadget is that you get to enjoy your photos in your home without a massive electricity bill, nor do you need to worry about playing with any complex gadgets. I must admit, I love the combination of the remote control and the motion sensing aspect of the frame, since you get complete control over when the gadget is switched on.
