Key takeaways for HYPERSPEKTIV: Photo, Video, AR
Where is it heading?

- The 88-day update gap suggests a lack of active investment, which compounds churn risk as users migrate to more frequently updated creative tools.
The SWOT
- ARKit-based body detection enables intelligent, real-time filter reactivity.
- Custom filter generation provides a creative toolset that incentivizes subscription.
- Expanding B2B music video production partnerships could unlock new revenue streams.
- Integrating wearable-camera support would differentiate the app from standard mobile-only tools.
