HTC tipped to take on GoPro cameras

While we thought HTC was going to introduce a new selfie-centric camera at their upcoming event, it would seem the brand has plans to enter a new market. HTC is reportedly introducing a “lifestyle” camera that will go against GoPro market. HTC is apparently behind the website and Twitter account teasing what is called the ReCamera. The site shows a video loop of people doing various activities such as dancing, swimming, and biking. We just have a bit more time to wait before we find out what the Double Exposure event is.

Instagram brings Hyperlapse selfies to iOS

Instagram is adding a new feature to its Hyperlapse camera on iOS: taking drawn-out selfies. If you’ve always thought it was a good idea to take shots of yourself with a moving background, this new feature might appeal to you. Some of Instagram’s suggestions include, capturing yourself walking down the street (which we think might be a bit silly and dangerous) or while getting a new haircut, or even while you jump on a trampoline). And of course you can share your creations on Instagram and Facebook.

And for those hoping Instagram can bring this feature to Android might have to wait for a long time. Apparently, the required APIs for Hyperlapse to work aren’t available on Android at the moment.
