ObscuraCam is a free, handy tool for Android that uses facial recognition to detect faces within snapped/imported photos, lets you conceal them with any of the four available obscuring effects (Redact, Pixelate, Background Pixelate, Masking) and share the results with your friends. Effectively, ObscuraCam resembles Privacy Camera for Android but with slightly enhanced interface a few additional features (for instance, the face identification and image sharing features). Join us after the break for more.
The standout facet of the app is indeed the Face Detection option which enables you to detect out any faces within your images quite easily. Once a face is detected within an image, you can easily play around with it and perform the aforementioned tweaking actions on it. The tweaked image can be saved and shared as per user discretion.
Fool your friends by sharing with them their own confusingly transformed images through ObscuraCam. The app enables you to look at the preview of the edited image before you decide to save, share or delete it. ObscuraCam works equally effectively even if a face is not detected in an image because you can still apply various actions on a selected portion of any image you wish to.
All in all, ObscuraCam is a fun way of passing out some quality time playing around with your snaps and concealing them in different fun-filled ways. The app is free to download and requires Android OS 2.1 or higher to run.
