A Game boy camera photos with a graphing calculator from Cemetech:

ArTICam uses the ArTICL library to connect a TI graphing calculator and a Game Boy camera. The Game Boy camera was an accessory released in 1998 for the popular Game Boy handheld gaming platform, allowing Game Boy owners to take photographs. It is built around a Mitsubishi M64282FP image sensor, which can capture 128×123-pixel grayscale images. In this project, the M64282FP sensor and its attached lens assembly (the “eye” of the Game Boy Camera) are removed and connected to an Arduino. The ArTICL library lets an attached graphing calculator use GetCalc(Pic1) to take a photograph and transfer it as a picture variable directly from the Arduino. The calculator can also fetch and set the internal registers of the M64282FP to adjust parameters such as brightness, contrast, and post-processing settings.

Details can be found on Cemetech’s website.
