Broken Lens is a creative tool that generates a unique shatter pattern for an augmented view of your world. Snap a shot and share directly to Instagram. Each press of the reshatter button selects a randomised point for the center of the shatter then spreads a variable number of triangular panels outward. Each panel is subtley augmented to form abstracted interruptions which create visually broken, and often stunning, images. The nature of the process means no two lens breaks are the same. The Broken Lens Flash feature enhances the individual panels even further. The transformation in each panel cause minute delays during capture: leaving some over exposed with the camera flash; some post-processed using Apples colour optimisation; and even some in the dark. Use Broken Lens to make a statement about your world, today.
