Digital photo frames are eye-catching pieces of technology for the home, but they come with challenges like power cables and the need for constant connection to the cloud.

What if you could place digital images throughout your home – on every wall – and none of them needed wires or full-time internet connectivity? That would be the new Bloomin8 E-Ink Canvas from Arpobot.

Unveiled in a Kickstarter program this week, the new full-color E-Ink displays are designed to fit inside some standard art and photography frames, including the RÖDALM series from IKEA.

Based on E-Ink’s Spectra6 technology, the Bloomin8 rechargeable displays support full color and 200ppi of resolution. More importantly, they can hold an image indefinitely, which means you only need power to change the display image. A Bloomin8 E-Ink Canvas can operate, according to Arpobot, for up to a year on charge.
