I'm amazed how low-quality this MS landing page is. - The "How it works" tab is just a huge image. - The search box ( top right ) has some problems with the border. Both in Chrome & Safari. - It uses `font-family: 'Segoe UI';`, which makes all elements with that font on my Mac "serif"
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I am imagining a developer at Microsoft somewhere holding their head in their hands when they saw the Live Photo comparison made by the marketing team. To me, they don't really seem to be aiming for the same thing at all - the Pix version is a highly stylised animation whereas the Live Photo is simply a very short, silent video.
I know the Live Photo example on this Pix page is silent, but it's important for people to realize that Apple Live Photos are not -- they capture several seconds of sound. I "know" this but often forget. When I look through iMessage history at pictures I've sent and received, there are often stray bits of overheard conversation that the sender wouldn't necessarily want or intend to include.
Insane. That page loads in 111 network requests totaling about 40MB.
I wonder who is responsible for their site design at Microsoft, their whole website looks very unpolished and quickly made, especially typography.
There's an interesting example they use to show the ostensible improvement of Pix over the Apple's Live Photo: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/... The Pix-enhanced version: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/... Sure, the Live Photo version has distracting movement, but it also has much more natural motion in terms of hair flow. And I feel that the camera instabili…
It's not just a bit creepy, it's firmly planted in the depths of the uncanny valley. The other (still photo) examples make me think they are pulling tricks with exposure and light balance, but the live photo feature is cheesy and gimmicky (and yes, highly unsettling in the example they give).
I'm going to try it out on my iPhone 6, but I expect I'll stick with the iPhone camera app for serious photos unless Pix blows me away.

We're from the Microsoft Pix team, and we are interested in your feedback. Happy to answer questions.
Two confirmation dialogs (one from the app and one from iOS) for deleting an image seems kind of overkill. Can you make it just one?
What do they mean by "Apple camera"? Is that camera in macbook, iphone 3g, iphone 7?
Great demo page. I really love the "People-Centric" feature, especially how the demo shows after shot enhancements for a variety of skin tones. Thank you Microsoft.
