Google today said it was launching 3 photo apps under a new series of what it dubbed “photography appsperiments.”
Announcing it on its official research blog, it said the apps are available on both the iOS App Store & Google Play. It will give Google a way to test out more experimental features to see how users respond, the company explained in the announcement. The apps are named Storyboard, Selfissimo!, & Scrubbies.
This is the 1st installment of a series of the photography appsperiments: “usable & useful mobile photography experiences built on experimental technology.
Excerpts from the blog post:
Our “appsperimental” approach was inspired in part by Motion Stills, an app developed by researchers at Google that converts short videos into cinemagraphs and time lapses using experimental stabilization and rendering technologies. Our appsperiments replicate this approach by building on other technologies in development at Google. They rely on object recognition, person segmentation, stylization algorithms, efficient image encoding and decoding technologies, and perhaps most importantly, fun!
