# Instant camera

> Gizmo pack gadget: a two-tone instant camera with a fat lens and ribbed zoom ring, a flash, a viewfinder, a shutter button and a strap lug. The lens follows your cursor and breathes in and out; every few seconds the shutter clicks, the flash fires and a print slides out of the top and develops a sunny little picture. A tap takes one now. Raymarched in WebGL, six palettes.

One-time setup (needs a subscription):

1. Add the registry to the project's `components.json`: `{"@assembli":{"url":"https://www.assembli.design/r/{name}.json","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${ASSEMBLI_API_KEY}"}}}` (merge into `"registries"`).
2. Put an API key from https://www.assembli.design/account in `.env.local` as `ASSEMBLI_API_KEY=asm_…`.

Then install with the shadcn CLI (writes `components/gizmo-camera/gizmo-camera.tsx` and installs dependencies):
