If you need a little inspiration, projects developed at the third annual Photo Hack Day in 2013 include Snapcat, a selfie app for cats; Tourist Eraser, an app that removes tourists from photos; best photo location, which analyzes impact and social graph to suggest the best place and time to take a photo of a landmark; physical filters, which uses lenses and hardware to reproduce popular digital photo filters.
“We’ve been organizing Photo Hack Days since the very early days of EyeEm” says Ramzi Rizk, co-founder and CTO of EyeEm. “They’re an excellent way to connect with like-minded creatives and challenge yourself to create a working prototype in an extremely short time. It’s amazing to see what’s possible in just 24 hours.”
Photo Hack Day 4 will be taking place at Colonia Nova, a 500sqm creative studio with a rooftop terrace in Neukölln. Entertainment and free food and drinks will be provided throughout the weekend and €10,000 worth of prizes will be presented to the teams with the winning ideas.
