iOS – Cortex Camera – New

This is a new camera app that’s just arrived on the app store, described in the literature as ‘Cortex Camera improves the clarity and resolution of your photos. It does this by combining over 100 frames of video to create one stunning high resolution and noise-free still photograph. Cortex Camera is inspired by the visual cortex, a remarkable feature found in every one of us. The visual cortex continuously processes visual information to create a clear picture of our environment’.

This app retails for $2.99/£1.99 and you can download it here.

    This does not work well with my new I pad. The picture is very poor quality . The camera on the I pad is better.
