More cool tricks with the iPhone
while we were pluggin away on the big stuff cc (@cclaan) whipped out another really great iphone app called light writer. grab it on iTunes. You can also see it in action with some pics on flickr and if you are the socially motivated type join the facebook group .
The whole app works on a pretty basic premise – POV – persistence of vision (read all about it on wikipedia ). You have probably seen the effect on one of those toy clocks and if you are make fan you should check out all the cool project like this one with a bike wheel.
Of course with the iphone you done have as high of a refresh rate so using this takes a bit of practice and it works best in low light (again see the pics). and for photography its just plain ol’ cool.
