The feature is supposed to be built into other apps like whatsapp, Instagram or Facebook messenger. From there it offers a faster experience than jumping to the iOS camera. It is also faster than aiming for buttons to get to the apps' camera.

It's an idea for communication/social networking apps, that have a camera feature built in. It is not available in any app so far, but I'd love to see someone pick it up.

Basically turn the phone sideways and the camera turns on. Turn it back to portrait and you are back in your app.

Good Points. Maybe something like a Lytro-Focus-slider could be implemented.

Front/back and Flash can be adjusted on the panel I the left.

I'm borrowing from snapchat here which uses a similar concept (tap for pics, hold for video) and tried to cut/avoid additional steps. As for focussing: why must focus and trigger be two distinct actions?

Thank you for the feedback. I hadn't thought that it could be interpreted that way. The idea is that it tapping and holding for photo/video works anywhere on the screen. I also would like it to focus on tap (shooting = focussing)

Gestures replacing taps/clicks (desktop metaphors) was one of the things I wanted to explore with this.

What's the name of the app? I'd love to see it.
