6 Creative Uses for Nixplay Frames

Nixplay digital frames are a beautiful way to display meaningful family images…but that’s not the only thing they’re used for! Over the years we’ve seen our clients use our frames in creative ways that even boggled our minds.

1. Monster-Be-Gone

We had one parent contact us saying that one of our digital frames were the answer to her monster-under-the-bed problem with her 4 year old. By using it as a motivational nightlight that ‘scares off monsters,’ she was able to turn bedtime from fear time to a sleep oasis.

2. Photo Pen Pals

Teachers often come up with the most creative uses of our digital frames, and one really stuck out in our minds. One teacher in Illinois started a pen-pal program with students in England, and she incorporated our digital frame to turn paper pen pals into photo pen pals. She told us that the visual component encouraged the students to keep up with the program. This worked especially well as it was one of our Wifi Cloud Frames.

3. An Animator’s Best Friend

One of our clients, a classic 2D animator, decided to add some of his hand-drawn frames to the digital frame, and put them in a playlist. It turned his frames into frame-by-frame animations.

4. Graphic Novel Displays

Graphic novel fans, as we’ve learned, are some of the most hardcore fans out there. One used our frame to display frames of his favorite graphic novel. By showing a frame at a time he could experience his favorite novel, daily.

5. Man Cave

Football fans give graphic-novel fans a run for their money. One such fan was a Nebraska Cornhuskers fanatic who had gone to every championship game for the last two decades. He added images from each game to his digital frame—and mounted it on top of his Cornhuskers jersey…in his man cave!

6. Vision

A popular and super-creative use for our digital frames is as digital vision boards. By adding pictures of their goals, like a new house or weight loss, in a looped playback cycle, our customers have successfully motivated themselves to reach their goals.

Our digital frames have also been used to create digital fireplaces, to serve as a secondary computer monitor, as mobile presentation tools, and as digital maps.
