## What is bitwave?

Bitwave is a creative-tech camera for making experimental photos and videos in real time.

Explore visual systems built around ASCII, dithering, halftone, stippling, signal processing, pixelation, color manipulation and Computer Vision.

Point the camera, choose a preset and reshape the image live. Bitwave is designed less like a traditional filter app and more like a visual instrument for experimentation.

FEATURES

• Realtime visual camera effects
• ASCII, dither, halftone, stipple, signal and glitch-inspired processing
• Computer Vision masks and object-based effects
• Live photo and video capture
• Import and edit existing photos and videos
• LUTs and color adjustments
• Effect-specific controls
• Save modified effects as custom presets
• Metal-powered realtime rendering
• Video export and sharing

COMPUTER VISION

Use people, faces, objects and image regions as part of the visual processing itself. Computer Vision can reshape where and how an effect appears instead of simply placing a filter over the image.

CUSTOM PRESETS

Adjust an effect, change its color treatment, CV mode and parameters, then save the result as your own preset for instant reuse.

MADE FOR EXPERIMENTATION

Bitwave is built for visual artists, musicians, VJs, photographers, creative coders and anyone interested in experimental digital imagery.

There is no required workflow. Open the camera, choose a visual system, modify it and see where the image goes.

Bitwave Pro unlocks unlimited photo capture, live video recording and video export.
