  • Blur

    Blur is a social/dating app that deemphasizes profile pictures and instead focuses on the actual person. Potential match's profile picture slowly de-blurs as user answers simple binary questions. Our team created Blur from concept to a functional iOS app in less than 48 hours and placed 7th out of 175 teams and got the "Diamond in the Rough" award at the 2016 LAUNCH Hackathon in San Francisco.
