This Magic 8-Ball Uses GIFs To Answer Questions | Kayla

There’s a magic GIF ball from the community of hackers and engineers known as element14. It responds to user questions with GIFs.

The hacker group posted to its YouTube channel a twist to the traditional Magic 8-Ball.

The very simple build diagram shows the gadget’s components: a screen, a Raspberry Pi computer, a sensor that detects shaking actions, and a lithium-ion battery for power. The final assembly, which uses 3D-printed parts, mostly resembles a regular toy 8-Ball. Except for its small, 240×240-pixel screen and “.gif” logo on the ball’s top.

This is amazing! Take our money!
