Burning visible images onto CD-Rs

Posted by Dave on 02 February 2006 | 0 Comments

This is rather fun - Burning visible images onto CD-Rs - it takes images and creates a data file that when burnt to a CD will show that image when held up to the light!

I’ve been wondering if that could be a good take-away exhibit piece. We’d have a camera which took people’s photo (probably in black & white), then we’d then have some mechanism for loading a CD-R into a burner (or a hand) - burn the image (perhaps with some take home material about the exhibit) and out it’d pop! It’d be neat if it was like a toaster - like the mechanism in the old Apple Cube.
