把拇指放上快門,數到三,看看今天的你是什麼顏色。 AuraCam 是一台光環相機。它拍下鏡頭前的人,把他從背景裡分出來,然後在他身邊畫出一層只屬於此刻的光。每一張都像剛從相機吐出來的拍立得——慢慢顯影,慢慢變清楚,最後在底下寫上它看見的東西。 = 怎麼用 = 1. 按住快門,別放開。三秒的倒數就是曝光的過程。 2. 放手,等它顯影。光暈會一層一層浮上來。 3. 讀你的氣場。它會告訴你這個顏色代表什麼心情、什麼狀態、什麼值得注意的事,最後開一帖今日處方。 = 關於這些光 = 每一次的顏色都是重新擲出來的,不會重複。主色決定基調,剩下的顏色決定它的層次——有時候是安靜的藍配一點金,有時候是燒起來的橘配深紫。你拍幾次,就會看見幾種不同的自己。 = 不是只有人 = 鏡頭前不一定要站著一個人。貓和狗有自己的氣場,光是從整隻身上長出來的,解讀也是寫給牠們的。至於叫不出名字的那些——一株植物、一個杯子、一團什麼——就當成不明物體,一樣一本正經地幫它看。 = 光環相簿 = 拍過的每一張都收在光環相簿裡,照時間排好。隨時翻回去看,那天的光是什麼樣子、它當時說了什麼。 = 手繪的介面 = 整個 app 是畫出來的,不是排出來的。紙的顏色、鉛筆的線條、有點歪的框——沒有一條線是完全直的,因為手畫的本來就不會直。 = 你的照片留在你的手機裡 = 照片存在裝置本機,不會上傳、不會備份到我們這裡,我們也看不到。連解讀都是在你的手機上寫出來的,不用網路。你隨時可以刪掉整本相簿。 沒有帳號,沒有訂閱,不用註冊。打開就能拍。

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AuraCam at none against CamX's 4. CamX's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
