u/no_awkward_Intention

Sooooo, I’ve decided to create an app based on a real problem.

The one I found is AI-generated video being used as evidence in different kinds of fraud—from personal sales of small goods and returns to insurance fraud. So I looked into how the process works right now. To make sure video evidence is authentic, companies currently need to send you a verification link (like TruePic), which isn’t very convenient because it basically makes the process synchronous. So I think that if I can remove this step from the chain, it could be a good idea: you’d be able to capture something whenever you want and send a link to the capture afterward.

But how do you know the video isn’t generated and was actually filmed live?

My solution:

Three things, all in the same session.

• App Attest. The capture can only start from the real app on a real iPhone. Apple attests the app, so you can’t open a laptop, generate a clip, and upload it as if you filmed it.
• The camera never cuts. When you finish the shot you actually wanted, recording doesn’t stop. The verification is the next part of the same file. There’s no gap where a generated clip could be spliced in.
• A path you can’t know in advance**.** After the main footage, the server gives you a camera path one point at a time. You only get the next point after you reach the current one. You have to move the phone through the real space around the thing you filmed, and the motion sensors have to match what the camera sees. A pre-rendered or AI-generated clip of one angle can’t do that, because the route didn’t exist until you were already recording.

At this moment, I honestly don’t know what to do with this app, but I hope it can be useful to people (or at least my non-stop camera approach).

Feel free to check out the app and give me some feedback. The app is free.
