The ‘Poly' iPad App Renders Images with Angles

— April 10, 2012 — Tech
Interaction designer Jean-Christophe Naour has created an app for the iPad called ‘Poly’ that allows users to create polygonal versions of virtually any image. Poly lets one trace imported images while averaging out the colors of that image to produce sharply-angled, almost cubist creations like those featured here.

Of course, the application includes all of the standard features of any image manipulation program. Users are able to manage their data through importing and saving images. They have control over their actions through draw, erase and undo controls. The application even incorporates more advanced features that allow the user to render their images in various styles: flat, point, color blending and wire frame.

The iPad is an intensely visual device. Assuming the interface is copacetic, this app should be a perfect fit for the tablet computer.
Trend Themes
1. Polygonal Art - The rising trend of polygonal art is disrupting traditional art forms and offering a new way to create unique, stylized images.
2. Image Manipulation Apps - The increasing demand for unique and customizable digital content is creating opportunities for image manipulation app developers to create new, innovative products.
3. Visual Apps for Tablets - The growing popularity of tablets as a primary device for media consumption is creating a demand for visually stimulating apps like Poly.
Industry Implications
1. Design - Poly has the potential to disrupt the design industry by offering a new tool for artists and graphic designers to create unique and innovative designs.
2. Entertainment - The use of polygonal art in video games and animated movies has been steadily increasing, and Poly may offer a new tool for game designers and animators to create stunning visuals.
3. Technology - The rise of image manipulation apps like Poly showcases the increasing importance of technology in creative fields and offers opportunities for technology companies to further develop their tools for creatives.
