Read full description

酷热相机 is a live spatial-filter camera controlled by matching fingertips from both hands. Place both hands in view and matching fingertips create filter spaces that move with you. Shift, spread, or tilt your hands to transform the image while you preview and record. TWO-HAND FINGERTIP PRISM The app tracks up to two hands and multiple corresponding fingertips locally on your device. Four fingertip pairs create three filter spaces by default, and the spaces continuously follow both hands. INVISIBLE MOVING BOUNDARIES Fingertip boundaries are used only to assign filters. No dividing lines are drawn in the preview or finished video, leaving a seamless composition of changing visual regions. CUSTOM FINGERTIPS AND FILTERS Choose which fingertips participate and assign a different filter to every space. The number of selected filters follows the number of spaces automatically. BOLD LIVE STYLES Explore comic, lava orange, invert, monochrome, neon, blue-purple laser, holographic aurora, and animated shader looks. Laser highlights, color, and glow respond to the position and pose of both hands. INTERACTIVE EFFECTS Blue, Red, and Purple bring energy orbs that follow your gestures, alongside Liquid Metal, Cartoon Frame, Thunder Palm, and Spiral Shuriken. Supported front cameras add matching face lighting. PHOTO ASSISTANCE AND DUAL-PHONE MONITOR Overlay a semi-transparent reference image to help frame photos; the reference is not saved in the photo. Select a nearby camera on another phone and enter its password on the first connection. When authorized, focus, zoom, adjust exposure, and take photos remotely. Changing the camera password revokes previous authorization. WHAT-YOU-SEE RECORDING The moving two-hand composition is written directly into the video. Each clip is limited to 30 seconds, with a clear timer and final three-second countdown. Finished clips remain available in Works. LIVE SOUND AND LOOPING BGM Capture sound around you and optionally loop the selected BGM while recording. The app combines live audio, music, and visual filters into one finished video. LOCAL WORKS AND SHARING Recordings stay inside the app, can optionally be added to Photos, and can be shared through the system share sheet.
