PointGrab's new app, CamMe, is the newest innovation in selfie-taking.
With the use of hand gesture recognition software, the app allows you to take a group photo or selfie without even touching the device, according to Mashable. To take a photo, the user just has to raise their hand and make a fist, which triggers a three-second countdown before the picture is taken. Instead of being limited by the length of an arm, the app can be used from up to 16 feet away.
CamMe also includes "PhotoBooth," which allows users to take photo booth-style photos that are arranged on a filmstrip, and "FunShot," which includes fun cutouts and backgrounds.
“It’s our goal to make gesture control available across all platforms, Laptops, TVs and mobile,"said PointGrab CMO Assaf Gad. "CamMe is just an example of the easy and practical way gesture technology is becoming a part of every consumer electronics user’s life.”
CamMe won the "Most Innovative Mobile App" award at the 2014 Global Mobile Awards. The app is available for free in the iOS App Store.
“CamMe’s more than one million downloads have proven that people are readily adopting gesture as a natural way to interact with their mobile devices,” said PointGrab CEO Haim Perski.
