How does this compare to Luma? I've been using that app for a few years now and it has been great, though it doesn't work well in low light.

As one of the developer of this app, I'm obviously biased, but we think that we achieve even better results than Luma.

Low light is always an issue (due to intrinsic limitations of the stabilization method), but we added slo-motion and support for the iPhone 5s and iOS7.

I remember seeing this during the 'tape to car wheel' test. That was impressive.

What, if any, details can you reveal about the implementation? How is the tracking/smoothing different than other SOTA approaches?

How tightly coupled are you to the Apple environment? Is an Android port plausible?

I downloaded it and gave it a quick try. Walking around the office at a somewhat fast pace yielded some blur on each step. I slowed down a bit and results were better. We have a lot of windows so there was a lot of light/dark issues which is more the iPhones limitations than the app.

Stability was pretty cool though not convinced it would work well on a bike. If you have some untouched videos you captured from the app itself without any post production editing, that would be cool to see. If you said the videos on your website background were all taken with the app I'd be more impressed.

This is a most brilliant landing page - flashy, but in a way that directly demonstrates what the product does, and the text is readable even against the white waves. Each of the sequences look beautiful and seem like if I just had this app, I would be able to make my videos just as beautiful. Congrats.

I'm not sure, but I believe the beauty lies in the fact that each of these scenes is something I can see myself trying to capture: the beach, a forest, etc.

The videos the app produces (I just bought it) work great as video background for pages. They're blur ready.

They were. Blurring happens in low-light environment. Give it a shot outside, i'm sure you'll be impressed !
