OlloCorrect was released on the App store a couple of days ago. There have been a few reviews. One stated “a must have app for all Olloclip lens owners” another said “OlloCorrect, Olloclip best friend!” There is a review in German, another review in Spanish, yet another review in French. They are all positive. However we [...]
Read MoreOlloCorrect App Available
Aug 31, 2012After much nail biting the App Store has allowed the OlloCorrect app to become available. A brief reminder : OlloCorrect corrects the geometric distortion introduced by macro, wide angle and fisheye lenses. It is designed to work best with the Olloclip lens accessory. The OlloCorrect user interface was designed by Andrew B White - thanks Andrew! For [...]
Read MoreFirst attempt at the App Store
Aug 22, 2012Rejected – such harsh words. While waiting on the HiLO Lens pre-production samples we’ve been working on a few apps. The first of these is OlloCorrect which corrects for distortion in the add on lens Olloclip(TM). people who own an Olloclip(TM) will hopefully appreciate this app (it will be free when it launches). These same people [...]
Read MoreHiLO Hibernation ?
Aug 10, 2012It’s winter in the southern hemisphere at the moment but Auckland is not far enough south to hibernate! You may be wondering – what is going on? The goal is still to launch HiLO Lens on Kickstarter. There have been several unforeseen delays in the pre-production samples. This is very frustrating because the iPhone 5 is [...]

Read MoreGoogle Doc Spreadsheet into OpenOffice – arghhh!
Jul 21, 2012From the title you may guess I’m pulling together a business plan for HiLO Lens. Why a business plan before Kickstarter ? It is not a bad idea to plan – keeping in mind that planning is a tool for managing change not predicting the future! But the main motivation is to be able to [...]
Read MoreCreative or Inventor
Jul 18, 2012Recently I looked around for groups where I could exchange ideas. There seems to be a few distinct categories : inventors, designers and artists. The creative process has always interested me. It’s interesting to see how groups form around these names. I imagined the creative process being the same whether applied in art or science or [...]
Read MoreNew uses for your iPhone
Jul 10, 2012HiLO Lens makes some things easier, for example ground perspective photography, street photography, self portraits and taking shots in crowds. But lets get more creative. Digital cameras have offered swivel screens for a long time. So the ability to take photos at an angle to the camera’s viewfinder is not a revolution. However most people [...]
Read MoreWhy not use a mirror ?
Jul 02, 2012The primary function of HiLO Lens is to reflect an image 90 degrees. The obvious way to do this is with a mirror angled at 45 degrees. We experimented with this idea about a year ago. The iPhone has a large field of view (FOV). The FOV of the iPhone4 is 55° x 41° (close [...]
