Timetracks4D is a camera that cuts time out as if it were space. Think of video as a cube stacked in three directions: width, height and time. Ordinary playback cuts that cube straight across time and shows you the slices one after another. Timetracks4D tilts the cut. Once it is tilted, every place on the screen shows a different moment: whatever held still comes out as it was, and only what moved is twisted. ■ Two ways to shoot [Movie] Records while the cut turns. The tilt changes from frame to frame, so the picture keeps moving. Angle, Speed and Window Time change how it twists. [Still] Builds one picture by stacking narrow bands, one at a time. Each band was taken at a different moment, so the finished picture reads as the flow of time from top to bottom. This is the slit scan, the way the first Timetracks worked. It saves a long picture: eight screenfuls joined end to end, each at the camera's own resolution. Both are made from the same camera feed, but they treat time differently, so each one has its own settings. ■ Main settings - Camera (Back / Front), Zoom (Lens), Resolution, Frame Rate - Transform (Shear / Rotate) and the edge time runs along (Long Edge / Short Edge) - Auto Rotate speed, Angle, Window Time - How the band moves (One-way / Palindrome / Wave / Fixed / Drift / Random) - Interval between bands, from single frames to hours - Scan Width - Full Screen, Show Buttons, Touch Gestures, Prevent Auto-Lock - Add Location There is a button that randomizes the settings. If you are not sure what to touch first, press that. ■ Getting a good result Hold the device still. If the device moves, the whole picture moves with it and you cannot tell that apart from the subject moving. A tripod or a table is the sure way. Point it at something that moves. A still subject seen from a still device gives the same picture at every moment, so nothing happens. People walking, a hand, water, traffic, anything swaying in the wind - these work well. Once you have the feel of it, try moving the device instead. That is where the more complicated shapes come from. ■ Pricing Everything except recording is free. Play with the camera and the settings as much as you like; the picture you would get is on the screen already. Try it first. Full Access (a one-time in-app purchase) removes the ad and lets you save movies and stills. If you have already bought Timetracks, you do not need to buy anything. Full Access turns on by itself when you update.

About

3D Perspective Camera

Features
Read full description

●It is a unique camera app that allows you to take 3D photos with a perspective effect in real-time. ●The fastest method for 3D photography. Excellent UI design with just one touch on the camera screen. ●This is a system that creates parallax between the image at touchdown and the image at touchup. (Touchdown-> Move the camera a little sideways-> Touchup-> Stop shooting) ●Anaglyph support. Anyone can see 3D photos using red and blue glasses. ●In addition, this app supports autostereoscopic vision. You can see either the parallel method or the intersection method. ● If you set the shooting mode to normal, you can also create normal perspective photos. [About Anaglyph] - If you have strong strabismus, use red / blue glasses to view in anaglyph mode. - Red and blue glasses can be easily made with cellophane sold at hundred-yen shops. - Those who can perform autostereoscopic viewing can also enjoy stereoscopic viewing by turning off the anaglyph mode. [About autostereoscopic vision] This is a method of viewing the image of the left eye and the image of the right eye with the naked eye while feeling the three-dimensional image in three dimensions. There are two methods for autostereoscopic viewing: the parallel method and the cross method. The parallel method is a method in which the left image is viewed with the left eye and the right image is viewed with the right eye. The cross method is a method of viewing the left image with the right eye and the right image with the left eye. You can easily find out how to practice the parallel method and dating method by searching the web. Stereoscopic vision is said to improve the ability to focus with both eyes and help restore vision. It is thought to promote the movement of the eye muscles and visual field, thereby activating the brain. [Settings] - Stereoscopic image layout: [Normal] / [Anaglyph] / [L][R] / [R][L] - Perspective effect depth setting: Touch operation on the image - Fisheye effect depth - Storage resolution: 20-100% of original resolution [output] - Save to camera roll: 3D photo - 3D photo sharing: AirDrop, LINE, Facebook, Dropbox, Instagram, ...

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Timetracks4D at Free against 3D Perspective Camera's $0.99. Timetracks4D also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 39 months). 3D Perspective Camera's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
