FaceSnap is a new iOS photo app that takes your selfie & pictures of your friends & family by itself whenever the camera is focused on a face.
It doesn’t just snap a picture, because it’s actually a burst of pictures over a short interval. You can set the number of images to be taken with the help of the configurable self-timer. FaceSnap can even choose the best picture out of the lot & discard the rest. Think of it as more of a camera assistant.
Obviously, the main advantage is that you’re not stuck behind the camera taking pictures while the rest of your gang is having fun, & then having to see all the photos later on without you in them.
One of the features of FaceSnap is it can be integrated with Motrr’s Galileo robotic motion platform. This makes it much more than just a photo app. Which means your iPhone or iPod will automatically pan & tilt when searching for faces & track them when it is installed in a Motrr robotic motion platform. FaceSnap includes also a promo code for 10% discount in the Motrr webshop. Though, you may even use FaceSnap without a Motrr Galileo.
When combined with Galileo, you can make it search for faces using 5 different Galileo search strategies, & then pan & tilt your iPhone or iPad to take the best pictures. It will even remember the faces it snaps, & can then follow the people around once the app discovers their faces. The app offers front & back camera support, & has presets for taking selfies, use as a party camera, or for room surveillance.
Under the selfie preset, it snaps 3 images using the front camera with a five second gap between each picture. In the party camera mode, it slowly scans the whole room, & takes a burst of 5 images when it detects a face, & then saves the best picture out of the lot. Under surveillance mode, it randomly scans the room & takes a single picture if it bumps into a face.
Of course, you don’t necessarily need to use the photo app with Galileo. It’ll work just fine on its own to snap your selfie or a group shot since all you have to do is bring your face in front of it.
FaceSnap has been developed by Eurasburg, Germany-based Appologics UG. It was free until last week, but is now available for download on the App Store for $0.99.
