HourFace iPhone app

HourFace is a funny little iPhone app, which allows users to turn photo of a face into a moving/interactive 3D image. You can either use your photo library or snap a photo right from the app itself. Moreover, you can see how the face selected looks like younger and/or older, and of course email the result to a friend.

The application uploads the image selected to the server which then does all the magic. As expected, a good photo is required so that the face can be processed well. An ideal photo is not too bright or dark, faces directly ahead, has its mouth closed, shows a visible forehead and has no glasses.

The “make your face look older” function is especially interesting, as it demos the “Dorian Gray effect”… If you think all this is worth a buck, hop over to this page (iTunes) and take it from there. But before you do so, make sure to check out a short demo video bellow.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
