Re-inventing the selfie, introducing CamMe. Gone are the days of the awkward angles, bathroom mirror shots and your arm holding the camera taking up half the frame. The premise is simple – hands free camera – to be able to take photos without touching your phone at all. The app’s gestural control systems works in much the same way as Microsoft’s Kinect for Xbox 360. It’s refreshingly clean and simply – no social sharing aspect, no library of effects or filters. Choose your camera (front or rear), hold you hand up for recognition, then close it again to take the shot (Mostly reliable except sometimes in low light conditions – but what camera doesn’t struggle in low light conditions anyway?). The images get stored to your camera roll and can be emailed from within that app. Future versions are to add video capabilities, which will expand its possibilities a great deal. Personally, for someone who is constantly taking snapshots on my phone, it excites me have a new relationship with the camera, and no, not just for selfies.
