ZUSE Custom-Toasts

Weekly Features


pixel art on toast

We still don’t have personal jet packs and meals in a pill aren’t totally here yet, the future is still way off but now we can at least print pixel pictures on our slices of bread! This nifty device prints 12×12 pixel art chosen randomly from its memory chip on your toasts so you can start your day feeling the future getting closer.

Check out this demonstration video (quicktime 17mg).

    Nah, just kidding. I don’t have friends.
