"Fractograf -- a term not yet in the Oxford Dictionary -- describes a variation on the photo mosaic theme, photo mosaics being a\u00A0tableau\u00A0derived from hundreds, or even thousands, of smaller individual images.\r\n\r\nThat's at least part of the inspiration behind Fractograf,\u00A0a new, free iPhone app that bonds\u00A0photo mosaic, photo/video collaboration\u00A0and social networking into a\u00A0dynamic, shareable image.\u00A0When you magnify a fractograf you'll see that it is made up of other, smaller images, just like\u00A0pixels in a digital\u00A0photo -- the company calls these elements\u00A0fraxels.\r\n\r\nA fractograf\u00A0differs from a photo mosaic in significant ways: It is seamless, friends can contribute to them,\u00A0it allows beacons to signal different features and it can, itself, contain\u00A0multiple fractografs.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFor example, a fraxel could\u00A0be just a picture or perhaps a link to a text, audio or video file. Some fraxels may have animations or beacons emitting\u00A0from them, and when you zoom in and double tap, it reveals another\u00A0fractograf containing its own fraxels.\r\n\r\nThere is no limit to the number of levels a fractograf can\u00A0have. So, people attending the same music festival, for example, can pool their photos together to form a single\u00A0fractograf and then share it via a\u00A0social network.\r\n\r\nConstructing a fractograf is simple. It starts with a single cover photo. Delve directly into your camera roll or snap new images to add on the fly. The images are instantly color matched, creating a sense of unity.\r\n\r\nThe app's bottom menu lets you access all the photo albums you have on your phone and view\u00A0all the fractografs you\u2019ve created.\u00A0You can also\u00A0edit and add to your fractograf after it is posted. Each image can have its own caption, and friends who have permission can add or remove images from the work.\r\n\r\nSocial sharing and collaboration is fun, but Fractograf doesn't force the issue. You can still have a one-off creation of your own images without any help, and in that case, you can simply share your creation with friends and family via the usual social networks where others can follow, favorite and comment.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSv2s6Tpid4&amp;amp;amp;feature=youtu.be\r\n\r\nIf you combine one fractograf into another, you can select a beacon shape whose animation will signal to viewers that there's another fractograf in the image. When you post a fractograf, it joins others on the company server where you can decide who can see them.\r\n\r\nFractograf is optimized for the iPhone 5 and requires iOS 7.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Fractograf"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
