Photo booth for dogs, made of Lego
Youtuber and inventor Simone Giertz builds a photo booth out of Lego bricks for her dog Scraps. Heartfelt and interesting, this is infotainment at the highest level.
If you're not familiar with Simone Giertz, you've missed something in your life. She is the queen of "shitty robots" and is known for her rather unhelpful inventions. On her Youtube channel, you can find videos of her turning a Tesla into a pick-up truck or making a musical instrument out of teeth, for example.
Her latest video is anything but useless. First and foremost, it's cute because it features dog photos. What's more, her photo booth for dogs is easy to recreate. All you need is a lot of Lego bricks for the house, a Lego Mindstorm set for the robotics. A GoPro for the photos and a feeder for dog treats.
And a dog, of course.
Her photo box can be controlled using a pedal. Simone has taught her dog Commander Scraps that when she presses the pedal, she receives a treat. It also activates the camera's shutter release. Et voilà: a dog selfie! Or as Giertz says in the video: "She gets a treat, I get a photo, everyone's happy!"
