Head Gear is a fun app designed exclusively for the iPhone that, using augmented reality, allows you to put a helmet or other “head gear” over your head creating endless hours of fun. Head Gear has some awesome categories of gear for you to choose from; spanning from amazing Science Fiction helmets, silly and whacky Glasses, hardened Sports helmets, and creepy and scary Horror masks. Best of all, Head Gear will constantly be adding new categories of gear so you can always suit up with the latest gear!
Head Gear is extremely simple and easy to use, no set-up required. When you first open Head Gear you will be asked to give it permission to your Camera, Microphone, and Camera Roll, this is necessary as the camera is required to augment the gear over your face. Once your in the camera will detect any faces that are in the camera and will then augment a helmet over your face. There a default helmets for you to choose from, which can be accessed from the Helmet Picker and once you select one it will then place that gear over your head. What’s neat is that you can turn you head and the helmet goes along with you, it’s pretty fun to mess around with it.
The Helmet Picker also features a Helmet Gear Store where you can purchase new gear packs for your entertainment. This is where you can purchase the Horror, Glasses, Sports, and Science Fiction packs that were mentioned earlier. Once a pack is purchased it is then added to your Helmet Picker where you can then choose a helmet from that pack and begin using it.
Once you have your desired gear on it’s time to take some photos or record a short video. You can choose from either Photo or Video by tapping on the lower left hand corner of the Head Gear UI. The camera button in the middle will represent video with a Red button and photo with a Grey button. Taking a photo will save the image instantly to your camera roll and from there you can send it to all of your friends. However, if you record a video it is also saved to your camera roll but you are also give the option to share it directly from within Head Gear. You can send the video over iMessage, Email, Facebook, Twitter, and more. Your video is also saved into the internal camera roll inside of Head Gear so you can come back and share it whenever you would like.
