When you’re in need of a small board with lots of flexibility, it seems like the Raspberry Pi is always there in a pinch. Today we’ve got a wonderfully impressive project put together by Sebastian Staacks that uses a couple of Raspberry Pi Picos to operate a pair of wireless buttons. These buttons trigger a photo booth that can replicate the bullet time effect famously seen in the Matrix movies.
The bullet-time effect uses multiple cameras arranged in a circle or semicircle. The images are captured at once so that one image can serve as a single frame of video, allowing you to see a single moment in time from multiple angles. This is one of multiple projects we’ve covered by Staacks. In the past, we’ve shared his CPU stat tracking matrix cube and recently his RP2040 Game Boy streaming PCB. He even joined us for an episode of The Pi Cast to show it off.
