#Hyperlapse

Video

Hashtag: Hyperlapse. Instagram setzt mit Hyperlapse (kostenlos; App-Store-Link) das um, was Microsoft vor drei Wochen als Technik-Demo präsentierte.

Cliff Kuang gehört die Exklusiv-Reportage zur dritten App1 der Facebook-Tochter, die ganz großes Kino (in Form ganz kleiner Videoschnipsel) ist.

Inspired by a demo in which he saw gyroscopes attached to cameras to de-blur their images, Karpenko had an aha moment: Smartphones didn’t have nearly enough power to replicate video-editing software, but they did have built-in gyroscopes. On a smartphone, instead of using power-hungry algorithms to model the camera’s movement, he could measure it directly. And he could funnel those measurements through a simpler algorithm that could map one frame to the next, giving the illusion that the camera was being held steady.
