Set self-shooting alarm and go to bed.


When the alarm sounds, the screen of the smartphone switches to the shooting mode, but Snap Me Up introduces a face recognition system, and if there is not a thing that can be recognized as a face, there is no shutter even if you press the shutter button.


Put the smartphone in front of the face ......


The alarm will not stop unless you take self-taking with yourself. Because I am awake, my facial expressions may be steep, but when I try to take pictures of myself as much as possible, I will be happy to wake up afterwards.


In addition, when wearing a mask and using "Snap Me Up", it was impossible to stop the alarm because face recognition was not done when taking self-shot. You can check the situation from the following movie.

Actually using it every day, it is troublesome to take self-shot immediately after being raised by an alarm. Moreover, even if you copy something other than a face, you can not press the shutter, so you will shoot while smiling in the state of waking up. Because it may wake up while only watching this motion alone, or waking up while checking the self-shot that you took, so it's okay for someone to say "Generally speaking it can not get up with alarms" is.
