Piratizer Preview

My trip to China and the craziness immediately beforehand and afterward delayed my new Piratizer iPhone app a little bit, but I'm pleased to note that it's back on track and should be sent off to Apple early next week! There are still a few cool features left to code up, but it's mostly all done.

Here are some sneak preview pictures:

Piratizer iPhone iPod Touch Pirate App

Piratizer uses face-recognition technology to find the faces of all of the people in your photographs and automatically turn them into pirates. There are all kinds of pirates - Buccaneers, Corsairs, Wokou, Vikings, and maybe a super-secret fifth pirate type if we have time.

Piratizer iPhone Photo Fun App

There's a large collection of all kinds of professionally illustrated pirate gear - hats, eye patches, jewelry, beards, hooks, peg legs, parrots, monkeys, swords, scars - you name it!

Piratizer - turn your friends into pirates!

Once you're done editing your photo, you can save it and then email it, assign it to a contact, upload it to Facebook, etc.  Here's me as a Buccaneer.

  1. That looks great! Any word on its functionality on house pets (dogs and cats)? I thought it was tested in the beta version…

    In the picture of yourself you posted, how much of it was the app and how much was you manually adding stuff?

  2. We haven’t extensively tested it on dogs and cats, but I’ve tried a few, and it has worked on some of the dogs (also, some monkeys). If the animal is looking straight at the camera, the eyes are enough to make it find a face.

    In the last picture, the app automatically added the hat, eye patch and beard. I added the earring, parrot, monkey and sword.

  3. Nice app..It looks really nice!

  4. Cool! Do you have an artist, or did you create the images yourself?

  5. Nah we hired some artists off of elance.com. They did much better illustrations than we could have done. It was surprisingly cheap as well.

  6. just watched the preview video on youtube. That ended up pretty well man. good work.
