Everyday photography app

Inspired by a viral video, this iPhone 4 app prompts you to take a picture of yourself everyday. It also includes a time lapse function so that after you’ve taken a number of photos you can watch a speedy photostream of your face with your daily surroundings blurring behind it.

This app excels in its simplicity and easy user experience —  little things like using the iPhone 4′s camera, alarm, and even a grid that helps you line up your face on the screen.

The YouTube video that inspired the app:

Create 3D Models With Your Cell Phone

Microsoft Research has created a cell phone app that allows you to take a bunch of images around an object and create a 3D model from it.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like you can try it out yet, but it does look pretty sweet from the video.

Flash mob

This may not be mind blowing, but it’s definitely kinda neat. Flitser is a website with a lot of photos of people taking pictures of themselves in a mirror using their camera’s flash. As you roll your mouse over, the center of the flash light follows your mouse pointer. There’re also a few automated animations and one interactive one called “Click, Drag, Throw”.

Use of Silverlight3 Deep Zoom

Here’s an example of Silverlight3 Deep Zoom being used in the Air Jordan Mosaic 23/25 site.  The web application allows the user to upload photos of themselves with their Air Jordan shoes. Collectively those photos form a larger ‘mosaic’ (containing thousands of images), thus giving the campaign a ‘social’ element.

This technology also has multi-touch capabilities and the ability to interactively view hi-res images. The user can pan and zoom deep into the ‘mosaic’ image, and interact with the images using touch screen technology if the application was running on an in-store kiosk screen for example.
