A Deep Dive into NOMO CAM

During his visit, Cook met with @flypig, the developer behind the popular NOMO CAM app. They discussed the various camera lenses that the app can simulate, as well as other features currently in development. These include the simulation of retro cameras and the pursuit of skeuomorphic details, which add an extra layer of realism to the app’s interface.
