December 5, 2014 – 14:00 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net – The world’s fist kiosk which makes Polaroid-size
prints from a phone or Instagram account has been invented by
Russian-Armenian entrepreneurs Tos Movsisyan and Artem Garmeryan,
who’re certain that it’s one of a kind, Vedomosti reports.
Experienced in online business, Muscovite Tos Movsisyan and St.
Petersburg-based Artem Garmeryan first met at Lappeenranta University
of Technology in Finland.
Having left the University they continued to communicate, later
coming up with the idea of a Boft machine “to materialize emotions,”
as they put it.
The mostly female-oriented project took $200,000 in investments,
with the inventors contributing their own savings, as well as loans
from their well-provided friends.
The implementation of the project, including the software development,
and search for a manufacturer, among other details, took over a year,
with the first machine released in 2014 in Moscow.
