If you are amazed at the effect of such a different aesthetic, then there is a more surprising function behind.

The Infragram camera is changing the way we "look" to the natural environment--first, this is a DIY infrared camera, you can create the color of the beautiful unusual photographic effect, and, more surprisingly, it is a plant health monitor, through the photos, you can also "See for yourself" plant growth. Whether it is infrared photography enthusiasts, horticultural enthusiasts, or professional growers are very suitable for use.

Principle is also very simple. Photosynthetic plants absorb visible light, absorb more red and blue light, and have less green light, so most plants are green in our eyes. But plants do not absorb near-infrared rays. When you use Infragram to take pictures, you get two photos, an infrared photo and a picture of the normal light. Users can be two pieces of pseudo color combination, the right figure bright contrast part on behalf of plant photosynthesis, the greater the brightness of plant health is also better.

Users can upload photos to the line, and Infragram also has a dedicated online analytics software that allows growers and gardeners who want professional data to track plant growth.

In order for more people to use the service, the developer public Lab also set the price low. On the Kickstarter, it takes 10 dollars to be called a supporter, you can move a pair of superblue infrared filters, 35 dollars can get a camera with infrared filter effect, users can install on their own devices. With a cost of 95 dollars, you can get a 2 million-megapixel Infragram camera directly.

Like the idea of Infragram, in addition to the different color effects of photos, but also because of a very want of a device-installed on the plant microphone, so that they can tell me how to feel now, such as "Take Me Out of the sun" or "Give me more water." At that time, the family balcony of the sun flower and hyacinth, but each watering and loose soil always have a "one-way" communication of the puzzled feeling, do not know whether they live well. The Infragram camera just poked at the point of the feedback mechanism.
