Read full descriptionHide full description
This camera can capture afterimages of people with AI. It is possible to capture images as if a ninja had transformed into a shadow. Since AI is used to determine the person, no afterimages will be left on objects or animals other than the person. Afterimages can be added to videos that have already been shot, or afterimages can be added in real time. You can also choose to register the video with an afterimage in the photo library.
Backwards Talk
This app reverses typed phrases, allowing you to record yourself speaking them backward. It then plays back your recording forwards, so you can hear how close you were to the original. It's a fun and addictive way to challenge your speaking and listening skills.
- Reverse typed phrases
