Recapptured — Re-Photography Android App
Take the same photo again, years later, from the same position — with the original shown as a transparent overlay while you frame the shot.
Concept
Load a historical photo, adjust its opacity over the live camera preview, align, shoot. The result is stored as a pair, with several comparison modes: slider, fade, side by side and blink.
Implementation
Classic Android views and XML layouts with a custom overlay view using hardware accelerated compositing, a small data layer for photo pairs, and a UI written entirely in Croatian for local users.
Status
Working prototype; social layer (rephotograph the same place as someone else) is the next milestone.
