While many consider the digital picture frame a cutting-edge technology, the accessibility of applications on mobile devices suggests a market need for combining the two products. Several companies are discovering ways to showcase art by streaming images through an internet service while displaying content on digital frames.
Art.com has introduced a frame under its Klio brand, which features a 4K LCD wrapped in a handcrafted frame.
In a recent press release the company describes how art enthusiasts are looking for ways to apply technology for experiencing more artwork, and “that digital artists deserve a platform for experimenting and expressing themselves in their medium. We didn’t just bring existing art to KLIO in digitized form,” said Nasos Topakas, Art.com CTO. “We set out to solve the problem of how to deliver a meaningful digital décor experience that can showcase newly pioneered art genres.”
The device has a custom user interface which runs a modified version of Android. The user controls the device via remote or mobile app. A Wi-Fi adapter connects the user to the internet providing access to the company’s cloud-based art gallery of original works.
