It took me a while to figure out the point of having this app, and even up till now I still don’t really see a purpose. However, the novelty factor of Condition ONE is more than enough to justify a download.
Introducing a new video viewing experience, Condition ONE immerses viewers into the video they are watching itself. More than offering just a paranormal view of films, Condition ONE draws users within the story itself, making them feel like they are physically within the scene.
In Condition ONE, users are not limited to just one perspective of the films they watch. By submerging viewers into the films themselves, users can swipe to toggle between which angle they would like to view the videos from, creating a totally new user experience. Users can watch a video from one angle, and then re-watch it from the back from a different perspective to witness a different story.
My only grip would be that Condition ONE only allows users to view pre-filmed videos, instead of being able to tape their own. Then again, with the limited camera technology in mobile devices, it would not really be possible to have such a feature in the first place.
As a free app, Condition ONE is worth checking out.

photography The Condition ONE app gives users a visceral, tactile window into videos created specifically for the iPad 2. Pivoting and tilting the iPad 2 manipulates the corresponding field of view. Users are given control of a virtual camera with the ability to look up, down, left, right and diagonally in any direction. Highly sensitive motion controls produce the illusion of looking through a window into another reality.
