Lentil.ai is stealth startup that is creating a brand new way to enhance and augment photos using emoji to transport you to another world.
I joined this project while Lentil was just an idea. The founder wanted a way to engage with images that transition from the original photo into the newly generated image. I wanted to create a transition that felt like moving between different worlds.
The method that felt most effective and exciting to use was the gyroscope. I created this proof-of-concept video to mimic those lenticular cards from childhood, transitioning between the original photo and the AI world.
After refining the lenticular interaction, it was implemented into the app.
