UV Camera is a free photography mobile application from developer Dennis Glowiszyn. It is a camera app that allows users to take photos of various objects and scenes, and display the parts where the intensity of light and exposure are high. It achieves this by applying different filters to accentuate these bright areas.

A different view of light

In a nutshell, the UV Camera app aims to show and replicate the effects of a UV camera device with light and exposure. To get started, you can either upload an image from your gallery or take a photo on the spot. After that, it will generate an image that shows where the light is brightest by applying color filters in different shades of blue.

You can toggle negative mode for an even more pronounced effect, and adjustment sliders for intensity, brightness, and contrast are available for you to tweak to your preference. Now, as has been hinted earlier, this app is not a true UV camera, since that requires specialized hardware. This is more for entertainment and educational purposes.

Fun and educational

All in all, UV Camera is a fun and entertaining camera app that allows you to see how light and UV can appear based on their interactions with different objects. While it should not be treated as the real thing, it does have educational value, and it’s something you can check out if you’ve been curious about this particular topic.
