Experience time in a whole new way! Poloska transforms your iPhone into a slit-scan camera, letting you take surreal and mesmerizing pictures like never before. Rather than taking a single snapshot, Poloska records continuous slices of time, creating dynamic images that reveal motion, distortion, and unique visual effects. Unleash your creativity and have fun with photography! How it works: - Slit-scan magic: Poloska captures hundreds of frames per second, extracting a narrow slice from each frame and merging them into one flowing image. The longer you shoot, the wider your final image will be. - Unleash your creativity: Capture images of stretched cars, melting landscapes, or warped portraits—your imagination is the limit. - Customizable viewport: Choose between horizontal or vertical scanning to shape your shot just the way you want. - Pro tip: For the best results, use a tripod to stabilize your shots and unlock even more incredible effects.
