Art on command: This smart e-ink canvas turns voice prompts into wall displays

At CES 2026, Fraimic unveiled the Smart Canvas, a novel digital art display that combines gallery-quality presentation with AI-driven image generation. Unlike typical digital frames, the Smart Canvas uses a full-color Spectra 6 e-ink display with a matte, paper-like finish designed to mimic traditional printed artwork and minimize glare. Housed in a minimalist black wood frame, the device is intended to blend seamlessly into home decor, functioning more like framed art than a conventional electronic screen. The canvas supports standard frame sizes, interchangeable framing, and runs cordlessly with multi-year battery life, consuming power only when images change. An internal accelerometer automatically adjusts image orientation between portrait and landscape modes. The Smart Canvas’s standout feature is its voice-activated image creation, allowing users to generate artwork by speaking prompts directly to the frame without needing a phone or app. Fraimic leverages OpenAI’s image-generation models combined with curated style presets to maintain refined and consistent visuals, avoiding exaggerated AI aesthetics.
