A new app promises to revolutionise the way we take pictures, creating hypnotic animated loops of everyday snapshots to be shared on social media.
一個新應用程序立志要顛覆我們的拍照方式，稱可以創建一種能在社交媒體上共享的日常快照動畫。

Phhhoto launched in July last year but over the last few weeks has received an increasing amount of attention after pop stars like Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and Joe Jonas and tech entrepreneur Mark Zuckerberg all expressed their love for the app.
照照照照片（Phhhoto）于去年七月份首發，但在過去幾周才得到廣泛關注。因為眾多名人紛紛公開表達自己對這個應用程序的喜愛，包括明星凱迪·佩里，麥莉·賽勒斯，喬·喬納斯和互聯網企業家馬克·扎克伯格。

The moving picture mobile camera app for iOs allows users to capture moving images and share them across social networks including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
人們可以通過這個應用于iOs系統的動畫拍攝軟件來抓拍動態照片，并且能在推特，臉書和Instagram等社交媒體上共享。

Omar Elsayed, Champ Bennett, and Russell Armand, came up with the idea of a gif-like photobooth app while at an office party for their digital agency,HyperHyper.com.
奧馬爾·埃沙伊德，錢普·貝內特和路賽格·埃爾曼德三人在他們的數碼代理HyperHyper.com公司年會上，想到了這個動畫拍攝應用軟件的主意。

The concept itself is relatively simple: It grabs four photos in succession using a relatively slow shutter speed and then links them together to form a gif-like image. Since its launch in July last year Phhhoto has had almost three million movable photos uploaded.
這個應用程序本身的概念原理是非常簡單的：通過一種非常慢的百葉窗速度連續抓拍四張圖，然后串聯起來形成動圖。從去年七月到現在為止，已經有超過三百萬的動畫照片上傳到互聯網上了。

'What we've been the most surprised about is in how long people are spending before posting something,' Phhhoto cofounder Omar Elsayed told VentureBeat.
“最讓我們驚訝的是人們在上傳照片前花的時間，”Phhhoto的創建人之一奧馬爾·埃沙伊德這樣告訴VentureBeat網站。

'Honestly, we're interested in making images people want to look at, and making things that no one has been able to make easily before. When we started it had nothing to do with GIFs or the format itself. It was about creating an experience for viewing and creating something in between video and photos that was optimized for mobile devices.'
“說實話，我們想做出人們喜歡看的照片，做一些前無古人的事情。它的起步與gif動畫或者格式本身都無關系，而是有關給予一種視覺的新體驗以及創造一種介于視頻和照片之間的載體，并且該應用要能應用于移動設備。”

Phhhoto is available to download on both iTunes and Google Play.
Phhhoto可以在iTtunes和Google Play上下載。
