Capture verifiably real moments in the age of AI
July
@july
We’ve shipped the first three roc.camera devices from /faust and more start going out today 🪨 🎉 Back in Oct 2024 we set a north star: build a camera that captures verifiably real moments for humans in the age of AI And so here is our raw v1: 80% now, working on the last 20% -- excited to start testing that hypothesis today We’ve been beta testing with a few folks the past few weeks and ironing out bugs / issues. Big thanks to the folks that have been willing testers (@7858.eth, @nicholas and @austink) Interested in providing feedback / testing? DM me Domestic orders first (in the US) then international orders. Early edition $399 ends Aug 10, as we move into post-tariffs batch 2 pricing for v1. This is happening (!?) If you've read this (yes, you) -- thank you. Excited to get you a Roc Camera, and real human moments to you, soon

Our goal is currently to ship all Roc Camera pre-orders and fulfill them and ship them out before the end of the month

We get this question a lot. Here's what I think: it's highly unlikely that we are going to build hardware to retrofit existing devices. That being said, the reason is because I think many future devices in the long run will have this, and what we're planning to do is start building a standard that builds on top of C2PA to standardize how these verifiable real images are made in the form of real JPEGs, we're planning to call them RJPEG. I think it's going to be longer-term option for a lot of devices to have this out of the box. A lot of the newer cameras and even things and sensors be on cameras as well.

I have definitely considered / thought of something similar to this where it's a social network, but only Roc Camera photos using Farcaster protocol

Yeah, a lot of little things: - Using the right tools or just discovering what the right tools for some of the right jobs are. - Simplifying the designs making it easier to manufacture - Optimizing for manufacturability meaning we changed the design or added different parts to the process that would cut down time on manual labor - Printing other 3D printed components that would aid in the process of accelerating production. I think we have more things that we printed that are used to aid the process of building a device compared to the number of components that go into an actual device. - Some of this stuff also isn't just about manufacturability either. It took a long time to dial in the filament in the way that we wanted it to print in a way that we could print 100 of them. - Software repeatability as well - there's definitely still things that are stochastic - but it took us a while to dial in a script that would set things up as well while maintaining new features in the process of manufacturing - Adding things to the list that we didn't initially account for. Figuring that out. Other Things like: - How do we do shipping? - What the box is going to go into? - Where are the labels are going to go? - What stickers do we need? Just all of these things that you don't think about when you start making the camera itself.

One thing we've learned, generally that the rate at which we make them speeds up: - There were countless, maybe 20~30 devices to get to Roc Camera 001, if you think about it, it took years to get to the first device - Device 002~010 was a grind, a a month or two for prod ready - Device 010~020 was hard, a week to make at a time - Device 020~050 was hard, but getting easier days - Device 050~080 was better, a day or two - Device 080~100 - we're doing all of these today
