About

HaloCam

Read full description

Streetlights, string lights, candles, fireworks. HaloCam turns every bright light in your camera view into a heart with a rainbow edge, live. Diffraction glasses bend each color of light by a different amount: red spreads wide, blue stays close. HaloCam calculates exactly that, so white lights become rainbow hearts and large lamps become softly spread hearts. Features • Live preview: the effect appears as soon as you point the camera • Make your own shape: turn a pet photo or your own drawing into a light shape. The outline is traced automatically, and you can erase or draw lines to refine it • Photos and videos: save high-resolution photos and videos with sound to Photos, in portrait or landscape • 10 shapes: heart, star, cat, ring, baseball, moon, snowflake, note, paw, crown • Easy controls: clear shapes with the default settings; adjust size, strength and rainbow spread if you like • Camera controls: tap to focus, drag for brightness, zoom with lens switching, 3s and 10s timer • Night exposure: keeps only bright lights for crisper shapes • Library photos: add the effect to night photos you already took • Fireworks & LED mode: shows strongly colored lights as single-color shapes Privacy: HaloCam processes photos, video and sound only on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to a server. Works best in dark scenes with many small lights.
