Magic Wanda brings phone messages to life

Realeyes3D has announced the launch of Magic Wanda, which it claims is the first camera phone messaging application to allow animated photo messages to be created and shared directly on the handset.

Animated messages can be created in Adobe Flash Lite format, without requiring a server.

Users create content such as handwritten text and drawings using pen and paper. They simply take a photo of the drawing or hand-writing with the phone’s camera.

The photograph is then overlaid with the handwritten message using Magic Wanda and Realeyes3D’s patented ink extraction technology.

There are several animation options such as scroll, stretch or rotate. There is also a bank of pre-loaded content such as frames, stamps, characters and music.

The resulting Adobe Flash Lite file can be saved on a phone or sent directly from a user’s handset to a Flash-enable device or content sharing website.

Magic Wanda will initially be debuted in Japan where flash-enabled handsets are readily available.
