A new smartphone application is looking to strike the perfect balance between photo sharing and video sharing apps. From Moju Labs, the Moju app adds motion to static images by turning a phone from left to right. Users can shoot and share their posts as well.

Based out of Palo Alto, California, Moju Labs is debuting their first app. The [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixedreality-creation-application) app lets users shoot up to 24 individual frames of one thing, then turns it into a single animated picture that moves when you twist your mobile device, similar to a hologram. A cross between [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluesky-flashes) and [Vine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/divine-app), Mojus are not your standard video sharing apps.

To create a Moju, the user simply launches the app and takes up to 24 photos. They can also be spaced out over time to create a time lapse effect.
