As part of one of its latest research projects, Google recently introduced three photography "Appsperiments," including the Android-exclusive Storyboard app.
Storyboard makes it possible for users to transform their videos into single-page comic strips. App users are able to shoot a video and have the most dynamic frames identified by the app. From there one of six visual styles may be applied to give the converted video a stylized look that resembles a hand-drawn comic. Instantly, one's creations may be saved or shared outside of the Storyboard app.
Other Appsperiments from Google include the iOS-only Scrubbies app, as well as Selfissimo, which is available for both Apple and Android device users. As Google describes, these new photography apps all introduce "usable and useful mobile photography experiences built on experimental technology."
