![]() Kyoto Camera is a new iPhone photo app that recently joined the already very saturated photo app market. Or better yet, if you happen to be visiting Kyoto anytime… Kyoto Camera might come in handy for people who are looking to redo their walls in the style of old Kyoto. The app is sort of similar to Color Hunter except that it can be used for things in the real world. You can point to anything in your surroundings such as a convenience store, your shoes, a painting, or even Tokyo Tower. Photos can then be saved to the camera roll. By placing the white dot at the center of your photo preview, the app detects the object in the screen and displays name of the traditional color, and a corresponding color swatch is shown next to your shot, acting as a sort of stylish border flanking to the right in a polaroid-style snapshot (see above). Interestingly, it simply focuses on discovering the colors we traditionally associate with the city of Kyoto in your everyday surroundings. This application is somewhat unique however in that it isn’t about enhancing photos with filters, sharing with friends, or decorating photos with cute stamps. Update: We subsequently received word that Kamakura-based developer/publisher Kayac worked on this app. If you’d like to try the app for yourself, you can get it for free over on Apple’s Japanese app store. Even Domino’s executive vice president has gotten involved in a truly cringe-worthy promo video for the application, which you can check out below. Of course, Domino’s has added their logo at the bottom in the interests of some self-promotion.ĭomino’s employees have also gotten in on the action, producing some fun Hatsune Miku videos and songs, also featured in the app. Once you take the picture, you can then share to Facebook or Twitter as well. Apparently the song, dance, and costume were all created by the folks at Domino’s Japan.ĭomino’s new app also includes a ‘Social Pizza Camera,’ a simple photo application that superimposes an image of Hatsune Miku – wearing costumes designed by Domino’s staffers – on top of any given scene. And in addition to the aqua-colored Hatsune Miku theme, it also has a few fun features, most notably an augmented reality function called ‘Pizza Stage Live.’ After your pizza arrives, you simply point your smartphone camera at the Hatsune Miku-themed Domino’s pizza box, and it suddenly becomes a stage where the animated singer begins a performance. The app is free and has the normal functions of the Domino’s app, including the ability to order pizza, check the status of your order, and collect coupons. Domino’s Pizza has announced a pretty interesting high-tech collaboration that will create a new version of its already popular mobile app by adding the geeky appeal of virtual Vocaloid superstar Hatsune Miku.
