Slit-Scan Camera, strange but true

"Slit-Scan Camera is your passport to the 4th dimension. Journey to a world freed from your rigid perception of time. With some creativity, you may reveal something that no human has ever seen.

At first strange and unpredictable, the world you knew is barely recognizable. Watch in real time as the live view records the ordinary, revealing unseen environments. On the street, people walk past and morph into putty-like beings, stretching along individual vectors. Speeding cars are compressed to comic proportions. Revolving doors twirl up into giant human juicers. This is just the beginning. Shoot the 4th dimension and rediscover your world!

While standard photos give you a full frame image of a single moment, slit-scan photography captures the world one line at a time. You end up with a two dimensional image where one dimension is continuously and chronologically displaced. Trippy right? Historically this obscure technique has required arcane photography knowledge, cumbersome equipment and a mountain of cash. Now it’s intuitive, fits in the palm of your hand and free!"

Features:

• Slit animation toggle: record the same line over and over or move the slit across the screen as it captures.
• Use the pinch/unpinch gesture to change the width of the slit. Speed up the process by capturing up to ten lines at a time.
• Move the slit position, just drag the line.
• Swap the scan direction by tapping the triangle.
• Live view on one side of the slit lets you see what you’re about to capture.
• Intuitively crop your photos before you save.
• iPhone 4 users can toggle the torch and use the front camera.
• max resolution of 1024×480.

In App Purchase: Upgrade to the pro version for £1.19/$1.99/€1.59

I just can't get any good results with this app -all my images end up with jaggy edges on anything that moves. Have given up and deleted.
