◆ Eyes-free haptic framing

Feel the frame.
   •   Gentle vibration = face near the boundary
   •   Strong vibration = someone is cut off
   •   No vibration = every face is perfectly centred

You can literally feel when it’s time to take the selfie.

◆ Mask Mode for bright sunlight & low vision

BlackLens was designed to work even when you can’t see the screen.
In Mask Mode, the display stays black to reduce glare, heat and battery usage.
When faces appear, they’re shown as bold, high-contrast targets:
   •   Green = face detected
   •   Red = locked and ready for AutoCapture

Perfect for rear-camera selfies, bright outdoor conditions, and low-vision use.

   •   Swipe up/down → switch between front & rear camera
   •   Swipe left/right → toggle Mask Mode
