Easy 3D Camera FREE

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 16:00:52 +0000

Take 3D photos and show your friends that the camera of your phone can see behind objects in a picture!
If you own Anaglyph (Red-blue, red-cyan, ...) glasses, you get a better depth effect.

You can:

- Take and view 3D photos.

- The pictures can be viewed in several modes:
- anaglyph view with selectable glasses colors
- wiggle mode
- manual movement with accelerometer or swiping left/right

- Take 3 up to 15 photos to get not only stereo view, but a 3D photo with movement from side to side...
finally you can see behind some objects in an image!

- Not only look at stereo or wiggle images, but move from side to side or around an object in the picture

- Use the wiggle mode to create little (max. 15 frames) stop motion movies (happens automatically when trying to take a 3D photo of a toddler ;-) )

- Upload pictures to Facebook, send by email, ...

- Look at the icon of this app on your home screen with anaglyph glasses, a part of the icon of this app is floating above your home screen
;-)

You can't:

- create stop motion movies longer than 15 images
or series of images that don't run forward and backwards continuously (=wiggle)

- create and export 3D models from stereo images

The free version is limited to taking max. 50 pictures and shows some ads.

The full version has no ads and can save an unlimited number of pictures and in a higher resolution.

Buy the full version if you like this app (and if you want to save more than 50 images ;-))

Also try the great tool "Easy Voice Calculator FREE"... a speech recognition and voice output calculator! No more typing for little calculations!

If you only want to capture wiggle images and don‘t need the mode for red cyan glasses, download the app “Easy Wiggle Image Creator“

Try my app “Facts about me (Free)“ for some funny facts about yourself ;-) sense of humor not included.

How to use this app:

- Tap the green button to take a new picture or tap a thumbnail to view the picture

- In the live view choose a point to look at and aim at this point with the crosshair.
Take 2-15 photos from left to right aiming at this point or at least at the same height

- The distance between 2 photos should be eye distance or smaller (depending on the distance to the object)

- press "back" to get to the home screen and view the new photo

- tap anywhere in the viewer to get to the preferences menu

- swipe left/right or tilt the device (depending on setting) to move left/right in the image

- a photo can be deleted permanently in the preferences menu

Please send a mail for feedback, bug reporting or feature requests.

Recent changes:
1.4.7: Full brightness mode in viewer (nice when you use anaglyph glasses). Selectable in menu, default is off not to waste battery life

1.4.6: included Magenta-green and Amber-Blue modes

1.4.5:
- no more internet permissions in full version!
- 15 instead of 9 frames per 3D picture!
- higher resolution "GUI" in live view!

1.4: You can now share Stereo 3D or 2D still pictures

1.3.5:
- In anaglyph mode swipe up and down to change the offset between the images

Doodle Ü

Sat, 03 Nov 2012 21:27:47 +0000

The hero of this Physics Puzzle Platformer is the potential cult character "Doodle Ü" a.k.a. Angry Umlaut, the only hero who can save the 26 letter "younglings" a-z (kidnapped by the evil Blobs).

The 26 Worlds a-z have 5 levels each. The objective is to get the hero to the exit, and in level 5 of each world to take the youngling to the exit.
They are unconscious, so the hero has to push, shoot, throw ... them to the exit.

Unique elements:

- easy touch controls: indirect control of the hero by tapping on the screen to draw a coin or manipulating the world around him. No "virtual buttons" on the screen!
The hero tries to reach the nearest coin by walking or jumping there.

- draw blue, red or green lines into the game world that turn into physical objects
These can be used to build bridges, hit enemies, or any other way you can think of to get the hero to the exit!

- blue lines turn into objects falling down, red lines jump around, green lines are fixed in the world

- draw boards, rocks or a combination of these 2 (flick to the right, down or up respectively) to build bridges, build catapults to shoot the hero up into the air, get him over Doodle-Ü-eating plants, ...

- Hand painted, looks as if a child's painting has come to life, no violence (hit: butterflies appear over the head)

- Sound and music fit to this style

- the hero sometimes has to move out of the level and get back in (!) to be able to finish the level
(the world doesn't end at the level boundaries)

- Inverted score system: you start with 1000 Coins in every world, drawing stuff costs coins, hitting or killing enemies and finishing levels gets back coins

- the coins remaining at the end of a world are your score. Replayability: high; a world can be reset to its initial state at any time, which gives you back the 1000 coins for this world.

- If the score is at least 900/1000: 3 butterflies earned! (butterflies are the equivalent of "stars"). over 600: 2 butterflies; over 300: 1 butterfly

Recent changes:
Version 1.0.3:

Screen size corrected for smaller and larger screens than 800x480

Version 1.0.1:

- Android 2.2 and higher supported
- Installation to SD Card possible

Easy Wiggle Image Creator FREE

Mon, 05 Sep 2011 21:50:17 +0000

Create Wiggle Images (image series with a 3D effect or just little stop motion movies moving forward and backwards)

My 3D camera app "Easy 3D Camera" was still too difficult to understand and use for some users, so here is the program for creating the wiggle images most customers of Easy 3D camera liked even more than stereo 3D images!

Free version: shows ads, can save 20 wiggle images
Paid version: no ads, unlimited number of wiggle images can be saved

Why are the screenshots black? Because in this app you create the content, there is nothing else to see ;-)

- this app can even capture series of 25 images instead of only 9 like Easy 3D Camera (this will be increased in future versions)
- not everyone owns red-blue glasses, so just capture a series of images from left to right, moving forward or around an object in any direction...
- capture an image with 3D-like effect by moving only a little bit to the right after every shot, or by moving around an object in small angles
- it's also great fun to capture little image series, it does not have to be a "3D" image (try walking along a road, an eating toddler, etc.)

Also try the app "Facts about me"... for some roundhouse-kicking fun facts about yourself ;-)

Recent changes:
1.2.2: now up to 40 images can be taken... perhaps this leads to memory problems with some devices. If the viewer doesn't immediately open after capturing a new image series (crash), restart the app and open the viewer, it should work then. Your data is not lost ;-)

1.2.1 crash fixes, the famous green button has a text now ;-)

1.2: bugs fixed, use menu button to get into viewer preferences

Easy Night Vision FREE

Sat, 27 Aug 2011 23:59:46 +0000

An easy to use flashlight and night vision application that starts the Flashlight immediately! (requires a camera with led flash).
The night vision live view is not intended for walking around and looking at your screen... the eyes of course see better than your phone's camera. But you can use it to peek into a dark mousehole ;-)

Another useful tool: Easy Voice Calculator FREE... Speech recognition and speech output calculator. No more typing on a small screen to do some little calculations!

For funny facts about yourself... try the App "Facts about me" (Chuck Norris will not hurt you ;-))

For a good 3d camera app try “Easy 3D Camera Free“. This app is regularly updated and improved.

Taschenlampe, LED Blitz, Nachtsicht

- No clicks, swipes or anything necessary after the start of the app.
- additionally shows a live view in green "night vision" mode or "normal" mode with the maximum possible brightness
- switch the modes by tapping anywhere on the screen
- take a picture to sdcard/EasyNightVision by pressing camera or volume buttons

Free version: Contains ads

Full version: No ads

Continuous flash light possibly doesn't work on every phone model in the world, please give feedback.

The screenshots show the floor in a completely dark room with the normal camera app of my phone and the Easy Night Vision live view ;-)

Easy Voice Calculator FREE

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 23:41:14 +0000

A Calculator with speech input and output!

Only in English and German right now, so language of speech recognition and output must be set to English or German in the system settings.
These are the only languages officially tested and supported, but try experimenting with the language settings.

Easy to use:

- Start the app
- Speak into the mic
- Input (for checking) and result is shown
- if you click on the result text, it is spoken to you

FREE Version: contains ads
Full version: no ads

Words and phrases that are understood:

"plus", "and", "minus", "take away", "times", "divided by", "divide", "by", "squared", "square", "cubed", "cube", "to the power of", "to the", "power", "sine of", "cosine of", "sine", "cosine", all numbers and "point"...

So try to say "three thousand four hundred sixty-five point seven eight nine one times five point six times sine of two times 4 power 2" and it will calculate (in the mathematically correct order of course) the result!

If you want the result to be read, click on it.

ATTENTION:

For Text to speech (TTS) services to function properly, the device must have both the TTS engine and the appropriate language resource files. In some cases, the user must install the appropriate voice language resource files. The users can install TTS voice resources from the system settings at:

Settings, Voice input & output settings, Text-to-speech, Install Voice Data.

Recent changes:
1.3.1: better understands digits after comma, separate digits combined to one number

Version 1.3:
- say "last" / "result" / "last result" / "Ergebnis" (bei Deutscher Spracheingabe) to use the last result in the next calculation! Nice for adding up numbers...
- better recognition for some words

Version 1.2: Square root / Root /Wurzel aus / Wurzel is understood and calculated!

Facts about me (Free)

Thu, 01 Sep 2011 23:17:24 +0000

Read funny facts about yourself, but don't show them to Mr. Norris... he might roundhouse kick you. Be an even greater superhero than Chuck!

Free version: contains ads

Paid version: Continue reading to find out why this version is relatively expensive!

Usage:

- Enter first name (and middle or initials)
- Enter last name
- male or female (this is used only for adaption of the facts)

- Menu button: Change Info

Have fun!

Why is the full version of this app so expensive? Well, if you buy this app and send an e-Mail to the developer with a photo with 512x512 pixels, a special version is made for you which is the same as the free version, but without ads and THE ICON OF THE APP IS CHANGED TO THE PICTURE YOU SEND!
Have you ever seen an app with your own photo as the icon? Well, that's impossible, unless you are a developer. The app will of course not be released on the market, but sent back as an APK file to you only to be installed on your device. If you don't believe that or don't know what all this means, don't buy the full version!

Easy Night Vision (Ads)

Sat, 03 Nov 2012 21:23:44 +0000

An easy to use flashlight and night vision application that starts the Flashlight immediately! (requires a camera with led flash).

If your phone`s normal camera app live view shows only a black screen because it is too dark, use this app as a viewfinder and press a volume button or camera button to take a photo.

The night vision live view is not intended for walking around and looking at your screen... the eyes of course see better than your phone's camera. But you can use it to peek into a dark mousehole ;-)

Another useful tool: Easy Voice Calculator FREE... Speech recognition and speech output calculator. No more typing on a small screen to do some little calculations!

For a good 3d camera app try “Easy 3D Camera Free“.

Taschenlampe, LED Blitz, Nachtsicht

- No clicks, swipes or anything necessary after the start of the app.

- additionally shows a live view in green "night vision" mode or "normal" mode with the maximum possible brightness

- switch the modes by tapping anywhere on the screen

- take a picture to the folder sdcard/EasyNightVision by pressing camera or volume Buttons, this saves both a green and normal Image if you are in the green live view, in normal live view only saves the normal Image

This version contains push ads, there is also a version with internal ads (makes the live view smaller) and a full version without ads!

Continuous flash light possibly doesn't work on every phone model in the world.

The screenshots show the floor in a completely dark room with the normal camera app of my phone and the Easy Night Vision live view ;-)

Easy Light Field Camera FREE

Sun, 27 Nov 2011 23:23:30 +0000

Shoot first, focus later! Capture an image with one click of a button and focus on the foreground or background later in the viewer by swiping up and down on the picture! The pictures are taken and shown in 1280x960.

ATTENTION: Works on LG Optimus Black, Speed; Newer HTC Models, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S, S2 should work, but not tested.

If you don't know what a light field camera is, search for it on the web.
Of course your device is not a real light field camera and this app can't replace one, but it simulates the effect of taking one photo and focusing later... it's the Dirty Harry of photography (shoot first, the rest follows...)

Easy to use:

-Take a photo of a near object (I tried it with objects about max. 25 cm / 10 inches away) with a nice background, distance depends on the macro autofocus function of your device...
- tap screen or press volume buttons or camera button if you happen to have one, hold the device still for some seconds!
- after several seconds the image is saved
- click on it in the image gallery
- swipe up and down to change focus plane back or forward
- menu button to export or delete image

Free version: can save up to 20 pictures, contains ads
Full version: no ads, unlimited saving

If the app doesn't work as intended: tell me your device type. This is the first version, I don't expect it to work on enery device in the world.

Recent changes:
1.1: bugfix, now the free version can save 30 images, stricter app manifest to represent the functions needed for this app. If the macro autofocus is not available on your device, taking photos will not work
