Microsoft Pix

Not to be confused with PIX, Microsoft's debugging tool for DirectX.

Microsoft Pix is a camera phone application developed by Microsoft Research for iOS.

Microsoft Research announced Pix in July, 2016, calling it an "intelligent camera app".[1][2] It is built in part on technology originally developed for Photosynth.[3]

Its features include:[4]

  • Adjusting settings automatically for faces.
  • Combining photos from before and after the shutter button is pressed. Normally it captures ten frames, selects the three best, and combines those to reduce noise.[1]
  • Creation of comix.
  • Document capture, including business cards.[5]
  • Focusing on objects of interest.
  • Short, looping videos.
  • Stylizing.
  • Video stabilization and time-lapse.
