Phone stands exist, and I can see a custom stand working plausibly well if this made phones replace actual theramins for performances.

Exactly, just 3D print a little inverted π-shaped stand, plonk the Cameramin on it, and get on with the performance.

Sounds like a great app idea, no matter that someone else might’ve already done something similar. I’d love to see it personally (although I have my own theremin to play with) .. an app like this would be very fun indeed.

Phone stands exist!?

We were talking about an app hence my comment on usability. Now we’re discussing something entirely different.

An app which functions when you place the iPhone vertically in such a fashion that both hands are on each side of the phone, facing both cameras.

You don’t need a stand, you could also use a salt and pepper shaker, a wedge of plasticine, your girlfriend/boyfriend’s knees...

Sheesh, try to be less pedantically rigid, honestly .. it’s a cool app idea. All it takes is for the user to mount their phone vertically while they’re using it.

> pedantically rigid

My original comment was perfectly reasonable…

Sorry if asking clarifying questions about your hypothetical app seems to have hit a nerve.

		> We were talking about an app hence my comment on usability. Now we’re discussing something entirely different. The misunderstanding is, yes, for this app you would need the phone to stand vertically, so yeah, some kind of mounting adapter would be needed, or at least the user has to find a way to expose both cameras on the horizontal plane while also having their hands free .. It would be a pretty cool app, but yeah there is the requirement that the user mount their phone somehow. My thoughts went immediately to 3D printing a little holder, but yeah, even a bit of ducttape would do it. ;P
