In 2017 I created a prototype to explore the potential of connecting young children, under the age of 5, with FIFO (Fly-in, Fly-out) family members.

The prototype captured photos using a Raspberry Pi Camera v2.1 and uploads the images to Dropbox. The local file is deleted once a photo has been uploaded.

If you are interested in using the code it is available on GitHub and includes instructions for setting up the Raspberry Pi camera and creating a Dropbox app.
