Clipdrop, the app that allows you to scan any object -

Introduced a few months ago, the ClipDrop application is now available in beta.

Developed by two French people, Cyril Diagne and Jonathan Blanchet of the InitML company, it offers to capture elements of reality with his smartphone to digitize them on his PC, in the form of an independent image.

By scanning a piece of furniture or any object in the living room, the ClipDrop app automatically detaches the object from its environment to make a clean image that appears in augmented reality on the phone, with a transparent background.

After which, the user only has to present his smartphone to his PC to digitally transfer the image obtained by simply sliding the object transparently onto his phone.

The app obviously uses artificial intelligence to trace an object from its environment and make its background transparent.

ClipDrop sort of takes the opposite view of augmented reality by transforming physical objects into digital objects instead of projecting digital images on our physical environment.

Besides the elements of reality, ClipDrop also makes it possible to hijack objects from online images thanks to a browser extension.

Again, the app extracts an item from its environment and creates a file in.

How ClipDrop works might seem incongruous, but the tool should be especially popular with graphic designers and other photo montage enthusiasts.

Capturing elements of reality and integrating them bluntly into a photo as simply as taking a photo is indeed a seductive idea.

In any case, the 100,000 or so people on the waiting list seem to find the idea interesting.

At present, the French application is still in development.

It is only available in beta before it can be launched on Android, iOS, Windows and macOS.

Note that the application will be offered free of charge with the possibility of only 10 "clips".

For the unlimited version, you will have to pay 9.99 euros per month or 39.99 euros per year.
