Smashing Booth: A Photo Booth that Shatters and Snaps Objects

The “Smashing Booth” is a contraption that shatters objects and snaps photographs at the moment of impact. It was created by designer Henrietta Jadin, who created it as part of a school project titled “Breaking Point.” The wooden device catapults an object at the back wall of its box, and a photo is captured by an open shutter, sound sensor (made from an Arduino controller), and strobe.

You can find some “making of” photos and resulting images over on Jadin’s blog.
