Apologies for the marketing video, but the technology here looks compelling. Using multi-angle capture, phone camera tech vendor Scalado presents an impressively-seamless illusion of “3D image” on mobiles. There’s definitely potential here, and while I suspect Scalado won’t be the only entrant in this arena, their demos and SDK look like they could be serious contenders. Scalado’s tech, they say, is already in more than 900 million handsets. Their current SDK has tons of eye candy and power:
Face Detection
Face Tracking Auto Focus
Smile Detection for better capturing
Blink Detection for avoiding capturing of closed eyes
Burst Capturing with full resolution and preview
Real-time effects in Camera Viewfinder
Creative image compositing and blending
Date & Time stamp
Image resizing for sharing
Image Crop & Rotate
Lossless rotate of photos
Exif Support
SpeedTags™ Codec for 15 fps full resolution decoding
SpeedView™ meta creation
Megapixel Panorama
I’d keep my eyes peeled for more consumer applications.
