Sway: Magic Dance for iPhone

Let this free app make you dance

Sway: Magic Dance, or simply Sway, is a free video mobile app that allows you to visualize yourself doing amazing dances. Developed by Humen, Inc., this cool multimedia app uses AI technology to generate dance videos from your self-recordings. If you’d like to try out a new dance craze but can’t replicate it, then this is a good option to use to see yourself perfect it.

How does the Sway dance app work?

Sway uses AI facial and body recognition in capturing your entire body. Then, it processes your recording and applies the AI motion filter you’ve chosen to make you start dancing like a pro. To record your dance properly, you need to prop up your mobile device steadily—either via a makeshift stand, a tripod, or a friend who can help in taking your video. Your device needs to be still to accurately capture your movements.

Next, you have to move around for 30 seconds for the recording. It’s recommended that you diversify your moves to make your video look better. Plus, your entire body needs to be on camera at all times. Afterward, choose a motion filter of a dance you’d like and let the app process it for a few minutes. You’ll then get a final product that shows up actually following the chosen dance accurately.

You can either keep the video to yourself or share it on your social media account and even use it as a sticker or emoji in chats. Additionally, you can submit your own dances to the selection that the app offers by visiting its official website. You might get videos that look a little wonky sometimes, but the app works surprisingly well, and you can even select a custom background to go with your dance.

Dancing can be for anyone

Overall, Sway is great AI-powered app to try out for entertainment. It uses cool motion effects and AI filters to transform your normal moves into something that looks worthy to be posted as a viral video. Its issues usually lie on the AI not accurately rendering your body, but that can easily be fixed by trying again. It would be much better if you can submit dances via the app, too.
