The Raspberry Pi 5 uses a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor with a clock frequency of 2.4GHz, which improves performance by two to three times compared to the Raspberry Pi 4 four years ago.

The SBC also comes with an 800MHz VideoCore VII graphics chip, which the Raspberry Pi Foundation says provides a “substantial boost” in graphics performance.

The south bridge component of Raspberry Pi 5 is manufactured by the Raspberry Pi Foundation itself and is used to communicate with peripherals. The official stated that it has “achieved a leap forward in peripherals and functions”, thereby establishing the connection with external UAS drives and other peripherals. Faster transfers.

Raspberry Pi 5 also provides 2 quad-channel 1.5 Gbps MIPI transceivers, which can connect up to 2 cameras or displays.

The Raspberry Pi 5 also offers support for a single-lane PCIe 2.0 interface for connecting “high-bandwidth peripherals.” However, the Raspberry Pi Foundation states that it still requires an adapter such as an M.2 HAT (hardware connection at the top) to use it.

The 4GB version of Raspberry Pi 5 is priced at US$60 (currently about RMB 439), and the 8GB version is priced at US$80 (currently about RMB 585), both of which are US$5 more than the previous generation. It will go on sale at the end of the month.

The strips from all the photos were then combined one by one to form one long composite image, alternating between the three photos from top to bottom. In other words, starting from the top, there is a strip from Photo 1, then a strip from Photo 2, then a strip from Photo 3, then back to the next strip from Photo 1, and so on.

Next, a sheet called a “strip cover” is laid on the composite. This sheet consists of multiple horizontal transparent slots interspersed with wider opaque sections. Thus, when the viewer pulls the overlay over the entire composite, they first see only the strip of Photo 1 (and thus the complete Photo 1), then only the strip of Photo 2, and then only the strip of Photo 3. Thus, the illusion of motion arises.

Led by Ticha Sethapakdi, a team of students from Associate Professor Stefanie Mueller’s Engineering Interactive Technology course set out to modernize this technique for a final group project. This effort culminated in the creation of KineCAM.

The small box-shaped device includes a Raspberry Pi microcomputer, a cell phone-like camera, a thermal printer similar to printing receipts, a camera shutter button, a battery, and an LED indicator. All of these components are commercially available at a combined cost of less than $100.

When activated by pressing the shutter button, the camera records a short video. Custom software on the Raspberry Pi then selects multiple frames from that video, which is then digitally rendered into strips, which are then interlaced to form a digital composite image. A physical copy of this image is then produced by the printer. The entire process takes about 16 seconds.

To view the image – and see it move – the user utilizes a stripe overlay previously printed on a transparent film via a regular inkjet printer.

Yet given that people can already shoot actual video with their smartphones, what might be the appeal of KineCAM?

In response, Sethapakdi said, “There’s something very appealing and intimate about having an actual physical receipt – a one-of-a-kind copy of some kind of experience. We’re opening up the project so that others can modify the camera, adapt the code, and design it to do whatever they want. We’re excited to let others explore that possibility.”
