Apple recently obtained a patent for a software that generates "synthetic group selfies" which as protocol points out could be a way to take group selfies on social media even if you're trying to stay socially distanced from your friends.
According to the patent application, an apple user(not sure what Apple products it'll be available for and if an Android user could be invited) could invite friends to take part in a group selfie then the software would arrange them in one image. The images can be still images, videos or live stream images. The users can choose to store either the original image or the group selfie and the original user (the host) can choose to edit the picture whichever way he/she chooses for instance changing positions etc.
Although social distancing is the new normal now, this software has been in development before now and Apples realizes this might just be a good time to release the software to the public. I must say it's a good idea to be able to take pictures with loved ones again without putting ourselves and another person at any kind of risk. What are your thoughts on this new software?
