PixiVisor vs Slice Camera
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
PixiVisor
This app enables real-time transmission of low-resolution video over audio signals. It converts images, camera streams, or animations into sound, which can then be received and converted back into video on another device. Users can customize the video output and save it as an animated GIF.
- Video to audio transmission
- Audio to video reception
- Real-time pixel-by-pixel conversion
- Customizable color palettes
- Animated GIF recording
- Lo-Fi video experimentation

PixiVisor is a tool for experimenting with the transmission of video over audio. It consists of two parts: Transmitter and Receiver. * Transmitter converts the low-resolution video (stream from camera, static image or GIF animation) to sound in real time, pixel by pixel (progressive scan). So any image or animation can be transferred to the other devices through the sound. * Receiver converts the sound (from microphone or Line-in input) back to video. You can set the color palette for this video, and record it to animated GIF file. Examples of use: * wireless Lo-Fi video transmission over audio; * video signal transmission through audio cable; you can then modify that signal by some mixers or audio FX processors; * VJing; * sound visualization; * searching for hidden messages in the ambient noise; EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon), ITC (Instrumental Transcommunication); * save any sound to animated GIF; * something else... Control keys: SPACE - play/stop (transmitter); 1,2,3,4,5,6 - slot select (transmitter); F - hide/show control panel; [ - previous palette (receiver); ] - next palette (receiver); I - invert (receiver);. N - normalize (receiver); 1,2 - contrast -/+ (receiver);. 3,4 - gamma -/+ (receiver); 5,6 - finetune -/+ (receiver); 7,8 - repeat X -/+ (receiver); 9,0 - repeat Y -/+ (receiver); LEFT,RIGHT,UP,DOWN - move the image (receiver).

Slice Camera
This app allows you to create unique photos by capturing and combining individual rows of pixels over time. Experiment with different techniques to blend moments and achieve distinct visual effects. A stable setup, like a tripod, is recommended for best results.

Slice camera lets you create photos by combining one row of pixels at a time, building then up to create images with unique properties. Experiment with different techniques and scenarios to create different effects. Images created with slice camera blend the moments together, as each slice is captured one after the other. With a little bit of practice and experimentation there are all kinds of interesting images that can be pulled out of a moment in time. In many cases it helps to use a tripod or set your phone down somewhere stable to capture images, this way the scan line will be stable for the entire exposure of the image.
