The
craze for taking self-portraits on your camera phone, the so-called
selfie, is being taken to another level with Nokia’s Glam Me camera app.
This is Nokia’s first ever front-facing camera application that uses
highly accurate face detection to transform your self-shot photos with
arty effects or beauty enhancement features.
Download Glam Me for Windows Phone 8
- Press the Search button on your Nokia Lumia and then tap Vision
- Scan the QR code
- Tap on the link when it appears on the screen
- Install the application from the Windows Phone Store
Glam Me is being launched in tandem with the Nokia Lumia 720, which just happens to have a fantastic front-facing camera so
the results are certain to look stunning, whether you’re creating a
formal profile image or something fun to share with your friends.
Smile for yourself
Taking a ‘selfie’ is a true phenomenon with young people in Asian countries, especially in China.
Fittingly, Glam Me was developed by Nokia in Beijing using new
technology, such as accurate face detection and auto face enhancements.
However, it is an artistic app that is sure to appeal to young, social and design-conscious people all over the world.
With just one click of the button, you can take flattering
self-portraits or use the intuitive user interface to quickly and easily
apply different high quality effects to turn those portraits into a
work of art.
The different artistic effects include sketch, water colour, mint, oil paint, poster, retro and magazine cover.
Furthermore, we’ve all had days when we’ve looked less than our normal,
and wonderful, best. Perhaps it might be a lack of sleep, too much sun
or because you’ve just got back from three days camping at a music
festival!
Whatever the reason, Glam Me can come to your aid with its slick range
of beauty enhancing effects, such as teeth whitening and skin smoothing.
The Glam Me experience
Glam Me adds to Nokia’s exciting range of digital camera lenses such as Smart Shoot, Cinemagraph and Panorama.
It can be launched as its own standalone application or selected through
the viewfinder, although remember that Glam Me currently only supports
the front-facing camera.
There is a useful ‘before’ and ‘after’ comparison function so you can
see the difference between the raw photo and the new enhanced version.
Once you’re happy with the final result, it’s then similarly
straightforward to share your Glam Me selfie by sending it via email,
SMS or through social networks like Facebook or Weibo in China.
Glam Me is a true social app in another sense also: it can detect and
enhance two faces in the frame so a friend can join you in the action.
Glam Me makes self-portraits more fun and more social than ever before.
It can make you look more beautiful, it can put you on magazine covers
and you can let your imagination run wild with the different effects.
That’s what I call an app!
Glam Me is available from the Nokia Collection for all Nokia Lumia smartphones running on Windows Phone 8
