Apple Computer announced their new line of iMac G5 computers today, and included with the new machines is an application called Photo Booth that will take advantage of the built-in iSight camera to help the user take self-portraits and send them to friends.
From MacRumors. com, a description of the new application:
Photo Booth turns your iMac into a modern-day arcade photo booth (minus the coin slot). Just pick a special effect like sepia tint, x‑ray, bulge or squeeze. And smile. Presto — instant high-quality photo. Once you have the perfect pic, take advantage of Photo Booth’s connections to share it via Mail, save it in iPhoto or use it as your Address Book or iChat buddy picture.
How does Stunt Software feel about the name, I wonder?
I’d love to see the new Photobooth app for regular iMacs also, I’ve got the 2nd gen iMac G5
(a 17″ 2GHz)
