Flashback – Optimus Alive 2011

Hello all! I have been gone for a long time, but not without a reason. I had (and still have) a lot of new challenges.

The most recent is an Android application for a very awesome action called Flashback which took place during Optimus Alive Festival in Lisbon (Alges).

The idea is simple but great. We have 32 Android mobiles running (my) special app.  They all are mounted on a round stage. People willing to have taken a picture pose in the center. Next, at the right moment, all mobiles take a picture at once. All pictures are send to a computer behind the stage where our small post-production team puts them together . In effect we have 360 degrees matrix effect movie – complete 3D experience that may be shared later will friends using social networks.

Below some pictures and links to information about the event.
