Greg Rostami V.I.P. Skynet will become self-aware in 2871 Posts |
Hello friends,
We are very close to the release of our new app, so I wanted to get some feedback from my fellow app lovers on The Café. Over the last few months, Hani and I have been hammering away at this app . . . and we are going to submit it to the app store in the next few days. Ever since I released iForce back in 2009, people have always asked me to do a photo related app. teleFoto is my take on this plot . . . Effect: You instruct a spectator to go to a web browser on THEIR device (phone/tablet/computer) and type in a very short URL. "These random photo sites are amazing. This site shows thousands of photos of Las Vegas." You instruct another spectator to close your eyes with her hands. "I want you to make sure I can't see . . . tight on my face . . . REAL TIGHT!" "Please swipe through those photos and stop at whatever photo you like. You don't have to say anything . . . when you find a photo you like stop and concentrate on the photo and all it's details." You are now just standing there, with your eyes closed. You have nothing in your hands, nothing in your ears, you have nothing extra with you. "Hmmm . . . an image is forming in my mind . . . I see a daytime photo . . . it's of a rather large structure . . . It's not a hotel . . . I see a lot of sky . . . I feel it's VERY tall . . . I see it!! You're looking at a photo of the Stratosphere tower!!" The audience gasps . . . She removes her hands from your eyes and the spectator shows a photo of the Stratosphere on his phone!!!! Features of teleFoto: As long as your spectator has an internet connection (3G, 4G, WiFi, etc) you can perform. Your spectator can use ANY device (smartphone, tablet, computer, etc). You never touch or see the spectator's device. EVER! Perform completely surrounded. You can create as many albums of photos as you like. These albums can either be populated automatically based on a topic, or upload your own photos (two albums included, ESP and Vegas) You can have as many photos as you like in an album!!! The URL that you give them is VERY short and designed to be easy to memorize. Perform as often as you like with different photos . . . everyone will swear that you're telepathic. You can either perform with nothing or with a notepad. With a notepad you can draw the photo that they're looking at. Since these photos are yours . . . create any effect you like . . . products, celebrities, cards, people, places, etc. Include a link of these photos anywhere . . . on your website, on Facebook, Twitter, etc. ALL your spectators see is you, standing there, reading there mind! THAT'S IT! teleFoto will be released on both iOS and Android. The Android version will be first, because we don't have to wait for approval from Apple. If all goes well, the iOS version should be out 2 weeks after the Android version. The price of teleFoto will be $29.99 I've been performing this NON-STOP ever since we had a working copy . . . IT KILLS . . . I love doing it. You'll feel superhuman doing it . . . and your spectators FREAK OUT! It's so strong that you have to miss a few things about your prediction just to make it seem real. We are very proud of teleFoto . . . I can't wait to see what clever effects you will create using teleFoto. I want to take this opportunity and thank the genius of Hani for helping me make this app possible. Without Hani, teleFoto would have never happened. I would love to hear your thoughts on this, Greg Rostami |

This sounds amazing! The fact you can use your own photos is awesome! Will there be a limit to how many photos you can put in the album?

Greg that sounds great.
What I really would like is the ability to use video clips....... is that possible? regards, Ian. |

Greg Rostami V.I.P. Skynet will become self-aware in 2871 Posts |
Hi Ian,
Video clips are possible . . . the only problem is photos are already too slow for MANY areas of the world. Videos would only be suitable for an area where you KNOW you have the bandwidth to handle that kind of data. The idea behind teleFoto is there can be THOUSANDS of photos on a site . . . it'd be impossible to know the subject of THOUSANDS of photos . . . BUT you can still SEE!! cheers, Greg |

Greg, awesome video demo and that's a finely designed illusion as I really like the fact that virtually anyone's internet device (the way I imagine the method) can be used without ever touchng it.
Generally, with content server apps like these, the FAQ will be can the server store custom images (photos/word print)? |

Hi spadesy,
Yes, you can use your own images. Quote: thank you for your interest in teleFoto.

Before the official release of teleFoto, here are a few more facts about the app:
* During your performance, all your audience sees is just you standing there. You have nothing with you. There are no props. * If someone asks "Why aren't you using your device?" you can either say "I don't have my phone" or "My battery is dead". There's a feature in teleFoto that'll help you prove you have a dead battery. * You can upload your images from any device that's connected to the internet. Sometimes it's easier to upload from a computer. * Everything in teleFoto is designed to give the illusion of an ENDLESS amount of photos. * In contrast to tricks where there's a known set of items (in a deck of cards there are 52 known items, a die only has six sides), photos have an UNKNOWN set of items . . . there's an endless amount of photo possibilites. * Sharing photos is something that most people do these days using smartphones or tablets. With teleFoto this social sharing is now a mind reading miracle! * We have integrated a URL shortener into the app so that when you create an album, you'll instantly have a short URL that you can EASILY memorize. * If you're table hoping, you don't have to worry about previous spectators confusing your mind reading powers. There's a feature in teleFoto that will stop that from happening. I'm now finishing the manual. If you have any further thoughts or comments, please let me know. At this point in our development, your input can actually change the final release of the product. looking forward to your comments, Greg |

Greg, not to derail the topic, but I'm glad you like the act! Hope our paths will cross again soon.

Hello friends,
Here's an update to teleFoto. Thanks to my buddy Nico Scholl in Germany, we found a problem with the app with certain Android devices. Hani is currently hard at work looking for a solution. That's one of the difficult things about Android development . . . you can have an app work on some devices that will fail on others. We also found other ways to improve the app. stay tuned . . . more news coming soon. Greg Rostami P.S. What did you guys think about the video? Do you like "theory11 style" polish or this style of impromptu performance? |
