Socialmatic Camera Creates Real-Life Filtered Pics

Instagram's great. But have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience it outside the digital world? Snap a photo, select a filter and then -- not tweet it, but -- print it out to physically share? A new company called Socialmatic is hoping to make it a reality.

We've seen this cool design before, but now Socialmatic announced a branding deal with Polaroid for an Instagram-esque camera that lets you add filters to and instantly print your photos.

It's important to note that this is not affiliated with Instagram -- it just uses a similar, filtered concept.

The device, which is still in its concept stage, dispenses photos from a built-in Zink printer -- similar to a regular Polaroid camera. It additionally includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips, a 4.3-inch touchscreen and a custom operating system that syncs to both Instagram and Facebook apps.

The official press release says product design and other details are still in development. The launch is planned for 2014.

Watch the video above to learn more. Does this sound like something you'd use?
