## Description

Unlock surreal photos with a slit-scan camera. Create mind-bending motion effects. Warp, stretch, and distort reality into stunning images.

Experience time in a whole new way!

Poloska transforms your iPhone into a slit-scan camera, letting you take surreal and mesmerizing pictures like never before. 

Rather than taking a single snapshot, Poloska records continuous slices of time, creating dynamic images that reveal motion, distortion, and unique visual effects.

Unleash your creativity and have fun with photography!

How it works:

- Slit-scan magic: Poloska captures hundreds of frames per second, extracting a narrow slice from each frame and merging them into one flowing image. The longer you shoot, the wider your final image will be.

- Unleash your creativity: Capture images of stretched cars, melting landscapes, or warped portraits—your imagination is the limit.

- Customizable viewport: Choose between horizontal or vertical scanning to shape your shot just the way you want.

- Pro tip: For the best results, use a tripod to stabilize your shots and unlock even more incredible effects.
