# Smart Live Prints

> Research-stage project building **passive optical media for motion and
> depth** — Polaroid-style prints that play a short Live Photo loop when
> light hits them, with no battery and no electronics. Powered by an
> integrated solar cell driving a lenticular / spectral-filter stack.

The official brand is **Smart Live Prints** (smartliveprints.com).
**polarlive.com** is the legacy alias and points at the same project.

## What this is
- A real research project, not a shipped product. The printer hardware
  does not exist yet. Backings fund R&D.
- A web demo at smartliveprints.com that simulates how a finished print
  would look and behave — drag a Live Photo onto the polaroid, tilt
  your phone, and the captured motion plays back.
- A companion mobile (Expo) app for the same demo on iOS / Android.
