Jed Schmidt created a collaborative family photo frame using Twilio, AWS, and Electric Objects. The system uses an iMessage group to receive photos, which are then sent to a Twilio number via API Gateway. The photos are processed by an AWS Lambda function, which crops and uploads the images to an S3 bucket. The most recent images are then composed into a collage using ImageMagick, published on S3, and displayed on the Electric Objects Digital Art Display. The system is designed to be easy to set up and use, with step-by-step instructions provided for creating the frame and integrating it with Twilio and AWS services.
