Timetracks – Slit-Scan Camera

Timetracks is a camera image-capture application which uses a slit-scan technique. Like an image scanner, it generates a unique effect over a certain defined duration – moving objects and changing scenes will produce interesting photographs.

This application includes the following optional settings:
– One way, Palindrome and Still scan movement
– Scan line width
– Scan time interval
– Save to Camera Roll
– Disable Sleep

timetracks-0-e

When you activate the “Save to Camera Roll” option, the image will be automatically saved periodically. The activity indicator will be shown while saving. Please note that any unsaved images will be lost when you quit the application.

FYI: I also made the installation version of Timetracks. You can check it here.

Timetracks – スリット・スキャン・カメラ

Timetracksはスリット・スキャン方式によってカメラ映像を表示し、撮影するアプリケーションです。スキャナーのように時間をかけて画像を作り出すので、動きのある物体や風景を撮影すると面白い効果が得られます。

このアプリケーションでは、以下のオプション設定ができます。
– 片道、往復、静止のスキャン方式
– スキャン・ラインの幅
– スキャンの時間間隔
– カメラロールへの画像保存
– スリープの禁止

timetracks-0-j

画像保存のオプションを設定すれば、自動的に画像が保存され、画像の保存中はアクティビティ・インディケータが表示されます。アプリケーションを終了すると、作成中の画像は失われますのでご注意ください。

FYI: インスタレーション版Timetracksも制作しています。こちらでご覧にいただけます。

Timetracks – 스캐너 카메라

Timetracks는 슬릿 스캔 방식으로 영상을 표시, 촬영하는 응용 프로그램입니다.
스캐너와 같이, 긴 시간에 걸쳐 이미지를 만들어내므로, 움직임이 있는 물체나 풍경을 촬영할 경우 재미있는 효과를 얻을 수 있습니다.

Timetracks는 이하과 같은 옵션 설정이 가능합니다.
– 단방향 스캔, 왕복 스캔, 고정 스캔의 3가지 방식
– 스캔 라인의 두께 설정
– 스캔 시간 간격
– 카메라롤에 사진 저장
– 잠자기 기능 정지

timetracks-0-k

사진 저장 옵션을 설정하면, 자동적으로 사진이 저장되며, 저장되는 중에는 진행 상태가 표시 됩니다.
저장 진행이 끝나기 전에 응용 프로그램을 종료하면, 작성중인 사진은 저장되지 않으므로 주의하시기 바랍니다.

FYI: I also made the installation version of Timetracks. You can check it here.

    I have purchased your app, and it is very interesting, but it would be so very wonderful if you could make the app save the current timetracks image immediately when the user touches anywhere in the image area of the current track. That way, the user can more easily control when the save occurs. Also, it would be very wonderful if you could make the timetracks more than 320 pixels high, if you were to use 1000 pixels, that would make a much better print.
    Thank you for this very interesting application,
    Tom

    Hey there, I purchased this app, and it barely ever works… It usually gets about 1/5 of the way through the screen, and then freezes. Cool idea, but does not work as advertised. saving is a big issue, too.

    iPhone 3Gs, iOS4.1

    Hi Jarret, I checked Timetracks with iPhone 3GS and iOS4.1 and it works properly. Would you try re-install the app and restart your iPhone ?

    Hi Kamem, The generated image will be saved automatically by 1024 pixels while you enable “Save to Camera Roll” option. You can see the image in the Camera Roll of “Photos” app.

    Hey Masayuki

    couple of thoughts for next upgrade

    1 longer time maybe up to 1 min –

    2 this maybe hard to do – but some kind of soft merging between sections – although the sharp lines are also excellent – soft blur option

    3 higher res saved files

    4 option to save when desired image reached

    fantastic app – already creating some great images

    many thanks

    初めまして。
    TimeTracksについて質問です。
    こちらの環境はiPhone4、iOS4.3なのですが、正常に動きません。
    アプリ自体は起動するのですが、白い画面が流れて行くだけで、
    カメラからの画像が反映されません。
    iOS4.3では動かないのでしょうか。
    ご回答をお願いいたします。

    The updated version of Timetracks was rejected by Apple. I think it’s because of a schematic reason (not a technical reason) and it might take more days to be in approval. I’m sorry and thank you for waiting.

    That is odd, Masayuki….take your time… I’m sure all of us will realize it is worth waiting for once your update is accepted 😉

    Hi blortblort, Thank you for waiting. I went to WWDC and asked the staff directly. Then the app was approved. It’s a long story of over two months.
