Google’s new Pixel 9 phones come packed with impressive Gemini AI capabilities. One standout is the Add Me feature in the Camera App, designed to seamlessly add yourself to group photos. While this is undeniably useful, it turns out this technology can be leveraged for some lighthearted fun as well.
Beyond the Group Photo: Duplicating Yourself
The idea is simple: instead of adding yourself to a group, why not add more of yourself to a photo? Initially, it seemed as easy as setting the camera timer. However, Add Me has its limitations; there’s no . With some creativity, though, it’s still possible to capture multiple versions of yourself in a single shot.
The Setup: Tripod and Strategic Positioning
Using a tripod and careful positioning, you can achieve a “twins” photo. The key is to reach the shutter button from both positions in the frame. After some trial and error, the results are surprisingly good, stitching together two separate images seamlessly.
More Friends, More Fun
Add Me isn’t limited to self-portraits. You can create dual portraits of friends as well. The trick is to have the subject slightly change their position or expression between shots for a more dynamic and entertaining result.
Limitations and Future Possibilities
Add Me currently works only with people, not objects or pets. Additionally, it’s limited to two photos per shot, so creating a crowd of clones isn’t possible yet. However, it’s exciting to see how Google might expand Add Me’s capabilities in the future.
Add Me is a testament to the versatility of Gemini AI. It’s not just about convenience; it’s also about creativity and fun. Whether you want to duplicate yourself or capture playful portraits of friends, Add Me offers a unique way to experiment with photography.
