The Next Generation of Ceiva Digital Picture Frames

By Ward Loupe


The Evolution of Ceiva Digital Picture Frames

Not too long ago, dreams of seeing picture frames that could change images and display moving photos were just that, dreams sometimes only realized in our creative fiction. Well, here in the 21st Century, what once was futuristic fantasy is now part of our daily lives. The very first digital picture frames on the market, Ceiva frames continue to be among the most popular and most advanced models sold today. Given the innovations in mobile computing and networking devices and technologies, how will digital picture frames from Ceiva and other producers evolve to adapt to expanding technological capabilities?

Whether it is an internal or external memory device, all modern digital picture frames, even the simplest ones, must have some way of storing the images which are displayed. With internal memory systems in addition to slots for SD cards and USB devices, the more advanced models are pretty adaptable and functional. As our ability save more and more data on smaller and smaller devices continues to evolve, we should be able to save thousands, if not tens of thousands, of images on one single digital frame or memory device. This along with further USB capabilities, showing slide shows or displaying a backdrop of memories during gatherings on large screens and projectors would be even easier than it is now.

Though it is available on a couple digital frames out now, the ability to play music and video should be a standard feature on the next generation of models. Not only should you just be able to play music, you should also be able to customize different saved photo albums and slide shows with different music soundtracks. Along with the still photos, video capabilities will allow us to also add random home video clips or clips from our favorite movies and shows into the mix. Considering holidays, parties, or special dates, like Valentine's Day, the next evolution of digital picture frames should give us many creative possibilities.

This last point will be made even firmer if these newer digital frames have full wifi capabilities. This will allow you to connect your digital picture frame directly to the internet to directly upload and download images and media, as well as wirelessly connect to laptops and smartphones. It would also be possible to have a wireless server from which different digital frames in one building can access either the same folders and files, or else designated files for each specific device. This would also make it possible to stream live video from local or remote devices.

As we are now more than a decade into the 21st Century, we have to become more accustomed to seeing what was once futuristic technology as a part of our present, daily reality. Past dreams of handheld video phones, notebook-thin touchscreen computers, and picture frames changes photos and videos, these have all been turned into actual reality. When you look at how just the digital picture frames by themselves have developed, then you can only imagine what kind of devices and technologies we have yet to witness and experience!
