Apple Iphone Apps
I know I’ve posted on Apple about three times now – but I’ve just remembered one of the best apps you can get on your Iphone if you want to have a laugh with your mates.
It’s an app that basically allows you to take a picture of someone, align the key features with the dots on the screen, and turn it into a fat version of whatever was snapped!
It’s hilarious, and I really can’t recommend it enough. I took a picture of myself, and I must say, I look about 40 stone heavier, with a few double chins!
The thing is, though, it actually looks realistic – whereas I thought it would just look fake and quite poor really.
The real reason I’m talking to you about this is to discuss the technology behind the software. It’s such a simple piece of technology, but it’s so effective.
Here’s a quick run down of how the face-changing technology works:
Well, it takes the picture – obviously – and asks you to align certain features of the face with dots on the screen. This saves the software a lot of time and means it works a lot faster.
Once you have aligned the dots, all the software does is place ‘weight’ (or just add volume) to the areas the points were required to be lined up… and hey presto, you’ve got yourself an over-weight version of whoever you took a photo of!
Like I said, it’s so simple, but it’s these sort of apps that make the Iphone so great.
