Selfissimo! is an app that uses experimental research technology from Google to capture photos automatically each time you pose, encouraging you to capture your best self.
The concept is great, but the preview is showing more than is visible on the photos taken, and it would be great to adjust the camera settings, especially the shutter speed is too slow so if you barely move your're ending up with blurry photos without focus on anything.
Google's research team just dropped 3 experimental apps today: this app, Storyboard, and Scrubbies.
Selfissmo! is fun. You just need a phone mount to capture those angles while you blue steel. 😚
@rrhoover A phone mount you say? Or perhaps some form of stick that facilitates the capture of digital self-portraits, and can transform into a wristband for convenience. Ahem! Interesting thought. Thanks for bringing it up 😏
This app and the other two they just released are pretty much the lamest excuses I’ve seen for gathering machine learning data.
Yes, these are un-polished MVPs and I’m sure the Google teams responsible for them are already well on their way to v2. These could even end up being pretty awesome products. Out of the gate though, it’s just so blatantly obvious and almost overly-intentional.
Report
I'm so glad somebody/bodies spend time building this when we still have one person dying every 62 minutes due to an eating disorder.
30m people in the US alone in suffer from eating disorders, which has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness.
Largely caused by unnecessary pressures modern-day society for (mainly woman, mainly from teenagers - which by the looks of your advertising is aligned with your target audience) to look great.
I'm sure you're really talented, and mean well, but put your talent to something worthwhile. Something that's going to make this World a little bit better, not something that undermines the progress of mental health professionals (who already have a tough enough job as it is).
