BlackBerry 10 advances (and rewinds) mobile camera technology
Share:
The app's key feature (and one we hope to see adopted by other mobile platforms) is akin to photographic time travel. Let's say that after you snap a pic on your shiny new BB10 developer phone that upon further inspection you discover your subject was blinking. No need to try and recreate the same shot – instead you can shift it through time. The app provides a circular wheel, conceptually reminiscent of the analog mixing knobs used in video and audio editing booths in days long past. You can use it to scrub through the moments before and after the photo was snapped, to find a shot where no one is blinking.
Of course in essence all RIM has done is capture extra frames, somewhat like a video where you can also capture stills. But the implementation here makes a lot of sense – you can worry less during group photos that someone will blink, and it won’t matter as much if someone walks in front of you when taking a picture of your kids at a local theme park, since you can always turn back time later.
Kudos to RIM on moving smartphone photography into the future…and the past.

Damn. Very cool. Can't say rim will make a convert outta me but they are getting my interest is what seems to be a "too-late" OS.

This feature seems fairly cool, but how will it work once all the other apps and OS features get loaded on to the device? I'm actually surprised that Apple hasn't come up with something like this.

Or, if the idea gets enough traction, Apple includes it in iOS 6 and releases it when the iPhone 6 is released in September, 1 month before RIM releases the BB10 handsets, and takes all of the oxygen out of RIMs release....

Well done RIM. No doubt this feature will come to iOS and Android. I'd be smart though and make sure Blackberry gets the credit for it. Patent it i guess.
