We have reusable rockets while webcams still suck big time.

Yesterday, the NeuralCam team dropped NeuralCam Live, an AI-powered app that turns your iPhone into a smart webcam.

It’s simple to set up. Download the iOS app, install a Mac driver, and you’re good to go.

They built a machine learning engine to make you look better, even in your pajamas.

The Style framework edits video similarly to a professional colorist (think Instagram filters).

With the Enhance framework, well, you can enhance your video.

Finally, with the Recognition framework, you can automatically locate your face and remove everything around it. It can also detect and instantly blur facial touches (looking at you, nose pickers) and nudity (there are other apps for that).

Rapidly developing AI and ML tools will inevitably bring serious innovation to live photography and videography. NeuralCam Live is one of the examples among others (Camo, Around, and mmhmm).

The company is gaining momentum in the growing smart camera space. A year ago, they launched low-light and photo enhancing NeuralCam and NeuralCam Pro.

The growing number of smart camera apps and video tools (Loom, Zoom for Home, Facebook Portal, Remotion, and Krew) can make working from home a lot more interesting.

NeuralCam Live is free to download with and has a premium subscription with better features. It works with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. Sadly, it doesn’t support FaceTime or Safari browser.
