Strata is a 3D photo camera for interactive memories. Capture a moment, add depth, and let people tilt their phone to explore it like a tiny window into the place.
The tilt-to-explore effect feels really magical, congrats on shipping this. One thing that would make me share these way more is a built-in way to crop or refocus a specific subject after capture, since tilting sometimes highlights the wrong part of the scene.
@tuncayivd4 Love this — subject refocus is exactly the kind of sharp feedback I needed. I’m thinking of adding a post-capture ‘focus anchor’ so the creator can pick what should feel stable/deep before sharing. If you try another capture, I’d be curious where the tilt starts to feel wrong: people, food, buildings, or close-up objects?
Love the tilt-to-explore idea, it feels really natural on mobile. One thing I'd love to see is a way to add a short audio clip to each photo, so when someone tilts into the scene they also hear a few seconds from that moment. Would make the memories feel even more alive.
@azatummak That audio layer idea is strong. It would turn a Strata from just a visual memory into more of a place-memory — café noise, concert crowd, street sound, whatever was actually there. I’m adding this to the product notes as ‘ambient memory audio.’ Would you expect it to autoplay softly, or only play after tapping a sound icon?
tilting my phone and seeing the tiny shift in my coffee shop photo actually gave me chills, such a simple idea but the depth makes it feel like I'm back there
@ilknurekelik This is exactly the feeling I’m chasing — not ‘3D because tech,’ but ‘I remember that place differently.’ Coffee shops are actually one of the use cases I think could work really well because they have foreground objects, depth, light, and atmosphere. If anything felt confusing in the app before/after that moment, I’d genuinely love to know.
The tilt-to-explore interaction is such a natural fit for adding depth, really feels like you're peeking into the scene rather than just swiping through it. Love how restrained the concept is.
@necla Thank you — ‘peeking into the scene’ is basically the clearest version of the pitch. I’m trying to keep it restrained on purpose: one strong interaction, not a giant bloated social app. If you had to explain Strata to a friend in one sentence, would you say ‘3D photo camera’ or ‘photos you can tilt around’?
The way tilt-to-explore is tied so directly to depth capture makes the whole thing feel less like a filter and more like actually peeking into a place. Really nice execution on that.
@alparslan Really appreciate this. That ‘less like a filter’ distinction is important — I don’t want Strata to feel like a gimmick slapped on top of a photo. The hard part now is making capture/export simple enough that people actually post and share. If you tried it, what was the biggest friction: capture, account creation, or knowing what to post first?
