SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Incode Technologies, a company whose mission is to leverage advanced technologies to make the Internet more personal, today announced the availability of Flashback, a mobile app that reinvents the way people share photos with friends and loved ones.
Personal sharing is broken. Privacy concerns limit what people are willing to share on social media, making the curated memories and experiences they share lose some of their emotional power. Manual sharing, the main alternative, is obsolete. It is time consuming and most people don’t do it.
As a result, many authentic, intimate shared memories are unavailable to the people in them. Flashback, built by a leading team of technologists, automates the photo-sharing process to ensure that people have instant, seamless access to their authentic, more emotional memories.
“There are trillions of photos taken each year, yet only a portion of them are shared with the people in them, leaving images and memories of people trapped on others’ devices,” said Ricardo Amper, Incode Technologies, CEO. “The principle behind Flashback is simple: if you’re in the photo, you should get the photo. Our advanced facial recognition software and machine learning technology bring people together through shared memories.”
Uncover memories you’ve never seen
Unlike other social photo-sharing applications or manual sharing, Flashback automatically sends and receives photos to friends and loved ones who appear in them in real time, called Flashes. It’s a one click, one second experience: Just point the camera and Flashback will recognize the people in the picture and will send it to them instantly and automatically.
Even the best photo albums contain only a fraction of people’s memories. That's because most photos rarely get shared. There are hundreds of photos of users buried deep in other people's camera rolls. Additionally, Flashback helps users discover, relive and celebrate those hidden, magical moments from their past by showing them photos of themselves stuck in their friends phones that they’ve never seen before, called Flashbacks. In a global survey of consumers, more than 70% of 18-44 year olds said they would support or strongly support auto-sharing technologies.
Cutting-edge technology: facial recognition meets machine learning
Using advanced machine learning, Incode created Recogkit, one of the world’s top face recognition technologies. Additionally, as users take more photos of themselves, the system recognizes them more accurately and shares those learnings with their friends in an encrypted and anonymized way through the process of collective learning.
Flashback has a state-of-the-art camera built into the app which instantly shows who's in the photo and who it gets shared with. It can also be used with the phone’s native camera, whereby photos get shared automatically.
Flashback is available now for free via the App Store and Google Play Stores.
