The 'Boomerang Box' is an interactive piece of artwork for the home that will transform digital content into a physical accent that's charmingly animated.
The unit is something of a mix between a picture frame and a flip book that can be outfitted with content from a Boomerang video, GIF or other form of moving media. This is achieved with a 34 frame design that can be outfitted with pictures from a video snippet, which can be animated by simply turning the crank on the side. This enables users to watch the content in a fast or slow manner and encourage them to play with the 'Boomerang Box' instead of simply leaving it as a static piece of decor.
