Startup Launches Cutting Edge Photo App, Wrap Digital Images Like Cloth!

Kolkata, India – Computer Vision startup, Techbla has released a new photo editing app named Wrapcam 1.01. As the name implies, the app allows the user to wrap or roll digital photos just like one rolls paper or cloth. This allows images to take varied shapes which literally makes the photo look like pieces of cloth in color. In order for this to be done the team at TechBLA has developed a new algorithm which allows the user to access the pixels of the image directly and change them into whatever shape and form possible. In some cases even the structure of the photo can be changed as well, all of this just by the swipe of a finger.

The Developers have provided a rich set of tools such as filters, color, lights and frame effects to enhance the quality of the app. As per Pranav Agarwal (CEO & Founder) who has stated that they have created an app where everything has been redeveloped from grounds up.

In the words of the CEO, “The 21 filters given in the app are unique and many of the effects have been introduced for the first time in the market. The best part is the ability to create customized filter effects by combining one filter on top of an another which literally allows thousands of new customized combinations to be made.”

As per company sources, this very philosophy has been used for development of all the features and particular attention has been given to make the app very easy to use. “You can just use one finger to create your photo art,” commented Madhurima lead designer for the app.

The developers have provided a rich set of text, visual and video instructions which allows one to learn to use the app with ease. The app is available on the iPhone/iPod and is specially been optimized for iPhone 5/iPod 5.

The developers have reported that future upgrades are in testing and will be released shortly and an iPad and Android version are in development as well which will be out in the market very soon.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 15.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Wrapcam 1.01 is $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.

So, which picture did you like most last time? The answer is Rem's photo, taken with the Sony Ericsson Xperia ray. And a pretty well-deserved first place it is, we should say!

Of course, there are many other incredible images left to be seen. Let's continue with another set of 15 pics, each of which can easily convince even the most professionally-inclined photographer that cell phones are more than a toy in the camera department.

Please note that if your own awesome image is not included here, this doesn't mean that it won't end up on the site. We simply might not have gotten to it yet! So, we urge you to continue following us, as we'll be publishing more of these truly great photos in the following days and weeks.

We'd also like to remind you that you can continue submitting your cool cell phone pics to the following email address:

In order to not miss on all the glory, you also have to mention your name/nickname, as well as the phone you used to take the shots. A nice additional piece of info would be a name or a short description for the image.

With that, we now leave you with our 56th set of favorite photos...

First images of Huawei Ascend W2 surface, another high-class Windows Phone

The Huawei Ascend W2 has just leaked out and it follows in the footsteps of HTC and Nokia who each have one lower and one higher end Windows Phone 8 device. We have already seen the Huawei Ascend W1, the company’s affordable device, and this here Ascend W2 will hit the high-end market.

There is only a few things we know about the Huawei Ascend W2, though. First, it’s got an 8-megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash. There is obviously a front-facing shooter as well.

Chances are we will get to see it soon, though. Huawei’s Windows Phone lineup will probably get unveiled at CES in Las Vegas, NV in January 2013.

We know that the more affordable Ascend W1 will cost around $300 at launch, so this here should much more expensive.
