- Product Description
- iLovePhotos solves a very simple problem: People have too many photos on their hard drive and they never look at them. iLovePhotos uses facial detection to make it effortless to organize, share and enjoy your photos. Our desktop software applies advanced technology to automatically create personalized slideshows for your friends and family to watch on the web, iPhone and TV. Given thousands of personal photos, iLovePhotos automatically creates new 60-second slideshows every day.
- Market Opportunity
- The market for iLovePhotos is a combination of the custom photo service market ($2 billion PMA) and online social network advertising space ($2.5 billion by 2011 - eMarketer). This is a massive space with almost a trillion images expected to be saved on hard disks worldwide by 2010.
- DEMO Says
- Rather than tilt at the windmill of photo sharing, that perennial quest to easily move photos from Point A to Point B, Blue Lava Technologies focused on getting more enjoyment from the photos you have. The most viral aspect of photos are the people in those images, a truism that is the centerpiece of Blue Lava’s application. Using face detection to identify and tag photos, iLovePhotos makes it easy to tag and organize photos and automatically generate slide shows and share them with your social network. The result is a beautifully simple way to enjoy and share photos.
