Popix3D CAPTURES LIFELIKE MOTION WITH iOS
User-Friendly 3-D Photography With On-The-Spot Editing
(Glendale, CA, September 3, 2014) HinesLab of Glendale, CA introduces Popix3D, a three-dimensional photo app optimized for iPhone5 and iPad. Designed to be user-friendly and offer on-the-spot editing, Popix3D represents the first iOS product offered by HinesLab, well known developers of 3-D photographic equipment, miniaturized cameras and auto-stereoscopic 3-D displays.
When the iPhone is rotated, the subject seems to protrude from the screen.
Popix3D gets Five-Star Comments for Selfies that Pop Out of the Screen
“This is really AMAZING.”
“Pretty neat. You can take a video of your face fairly easily and by simply rotating your phone, it will cycle through the video you took.”
“No way! This is awesome.”
“It really grabs the viewer’s attention. The props make the 3D portraits even more fun.”
By simply turning your phone the 3-D headshot appears to protrude out from the screen. The app uses video to capture head rotation and then displays it for easy hands-on editing. The photos can be shared using email, Facebook or Twitter.
The Popix3D app uses the front or back camera with a merge option for headshots and a variety of fun add-on costume props and 3-D effects. The front camera captures headshots that rotate from side to side. A chroma-key technique using the back camera is provided for advertisers to photograph products such as clothes, jewelry, hats and other apparel. It is ideal for advertisers to promote their merchandise. App users can try on items virtually. From a link on advertisers’ websites, customers can download the Popix3D image of the merchandise and combine it with their headshots.
The headshot app can be downloaded at the Apple app store for $1.99. Orders for stereoscopic 3-D postcards-like prints created from any Popix3D picture can also be purchased in the app.
