GestureCam: Hands Free Camera
Set down an iPhone and trigger a photo with a palm gesture, or use Pro Auto Capture to keep taking shots while people hold a pose.
Group photographs and tripod-supported selfies
GestureCam suits a group photo where the person holding the phone wants to join in. The free palm trigger provides a hands-free starting point, and the optional Auto Capture workflow is aimed at successive poses without returning to the phone. Check the saved photos and framing before committing to an important group shot.
Keep in mind: Camera controls and lens options depend on hardware. Hand recognition, stillness timing and voice availability were not tested.

The free flow waits for a hand gesture. Pro Auto Capture is described as continuing to take photographs while subjects hold still, which can suit a series of different group poses. Review the results before choosing a final shot.
