You may have thought that Polaroid was dead. Maybe even 20 years ago. But that’s not the case. The company well-known for its instant cameras has just swung into the digital era with a new photo sharing app that allows you to turn your static photos into moving ones.
The app – Swing – is developed together with a startup of the same name and is currently available on iOS. It’s pretty simple to use. All you have to do is capture a one-second moment, which you can then turn into a moving picture. Before taking a photo you choose a live filter – there are four different ones – and you can use both the front and back cameras to then take a photo.

For one, it is seriously immersing! As co-founder of Polaroid Swing, Tommy Stadlen, says,

I won’t disagree. I’m off to download and try Swing right now. :-)
