Memochrome is a photo app for Android. Instead of taking pictures as close approximations to realistic depiction, Memochrome takes highly abstracted pictures based on only four colors picked up by the camera sensor. Image file saved by Memochrome also store information about where pictures were taken (geotag) as well as date and time – allowing for maximum abstraction while still saving basic factual information associated with the photographic moment.
