Become a sumo wrestler by stepping into SumoBooth

by Rick Martin Jan 25th 2011 at 8:00AM

The facial expression experts over at MotionPortrait (makers of PhotoAvatar and ZombieBooth) have just dropped another fun photo effect application on us. SumoBooth takes your photo and transforms your head shot into a pudgy and powerful sumo wrestler.

Once the animated sumo face is generated, you can then have a little fun by slapping him (or her) around a little bit with your finger. Watch the face react to the abuse with various winces and frowns. If you speak, the application will play back what you said in a typically deep sumo voice.

SumoBooth comes with some social functions as well, like the ability to take snapshots and video of your new sumo face and then share them via Facebook, Twitter or YouTube.

The app will be featured at MotionPortrait's booth at Macworld 2011 for those who want to check it out. If you can't make it, have a look at the following video posted over on Appbank (Japanese).

What is the matter with you people (commentors)? This has to be the best iPhone ap yet. In fact, I don't have an iPhone, but I'll be looking to buy one now so I can get this app. Or maybe just upgrade my iPod Touch.

Now we know why Steve Jobs is taking a break from Apple: once you have the hardware and software available to turn someone into a Sumo wrestler, there's nothing left worth accomplishing.

See, it's "newsworthy reviews" of apps like this that give the iPhone a bad name. REALLY? This is an important app that everyone should know about?

While I agree with you that this app will not see a day on my iPhone, I don't think there's much wrong with a blogger here sharing information about an app that entertained him. It's guaranteed to entertain some readers, too.
