Last year, Google’s experimental division launched a camera app for iOS devices called Motion Stills which allowed users to create cool time-lapse videos and GIFs. The app was such a success that in July this year, Google also released the app for Android. Building on the success of its Motion Stills app, Google has just released three brand new experimental camera apps for Android and iOS.
These three apps are the first installment in a series of experimental apps that Google has planned to release. In a blog post published on its “Google Research Blog”, the company has this to say, “Today, we’re launching the first installment of a series of photography dubbed as “appsperiments”: usable and useful mobile photography experiences built on experimental technology.”
The company further mentioned that the new “appsperiments” project was partly inspired by Motion Stills and uses the same underlying principle of providing users with a fun creative experience. The apps use object recognition, person segmentation, stylization algorithms, and efficient image encoding and decoding technologies to perform different cool actions. Let’s take a quick look at the apps shall we:
