Awesome news everyone!
Next Monday we will be attending the Launch Festival. ChipotleLabs will have some space at the demo pit area where we will be demoing Instaplayer & Ninja Factor.

We will be taking lots of photos and uploading them to the Instagram account @chipotlelabs .
To spice up our photos, we are taking masks of celebrities like Mark Zuckerberg, Angelina Jolie, Shaq, Obama & more ;)

If you would like to experience the Launch Festival as it happens, be sure to follow @chipotlelabs in Instagram or search for photos tagged #launch2013 .
Obviously the easiest way is to set up Instaplayer with @instaplayerapp and/or #launch2013 .

We’ll keep you posted!
If you will be attending the Launch Festival or simply want to say hi just ping us @chipotlelabs .

BTW, super secret fact. The photo you see above will be displayed at the easter egg space in Instaplayer as of Monday. If you don’t know how to access the easter egg in Instaplayer, here’s how: Turn off all your filters including the user’s feed and voilà, you will see some static on the screen and after a few seconds a secret image will appear.

This is by far one of our favorite hashtags “#findmomo” and what an awesome idea! Imagine “Where’s Waldo”, but where all the Instagram community can participate by hiding their own “momo”; which in this case is Andrew’s dog.

Follow @andrewknapp, input #findmomo in Instaplayer and participate by uploading your own shots with #findmomo. Here’s one of our favorite shots.

instagram:

On a Hunt to #findmomo with @andrewknapp

If you’re a “Where’s Waldo” fan, you’re going to love Andrew Knapp’s (@andrewknapp) Instagram photos. Andrew’s stunning landscapes often come with a twist: somewhere in the scene his border collie, Momo, is hiding from view. Andrew uses the hashtag #findmomo in his captions to encourage other Instagrammers to play along and spot Momo.

Andrew says the series of photos started by chance. “I love taking landscape shots, and Momo is too photogenic to not be in photos. He usually runs ahead of me when I’m tossing a stick for him, and it so happened that he ended up in a couple of the shots. I started hashtagging #findmomo and it all kind of pieced itself together!”

Think you can #findmomo? Be sure to follow @andrewknapp to try your luck!

This Weekend’s Hashtag Project: #WHPfromwhereistand

Weekend Hashtag Project is a series featuring designated themes & hashtags chosen by Instagram’s Community Team. For a chance to be featured on the Instagram blog, follow @instagram and look for a photo announcing the weekend’s project every Friday

Last weekend we asked you to look up, so it’s only natural that this weekend we ask you to capture photographs of what you see when you look down at your feet! Some tips to get you started: look for interesting textures and patterns on the ground like marble, wood or even fallen leaves. The beach can make an excellent backdrop for this prompt; and keep an eye out for street art displayed on concrete!

PROJECT RULES: Please only add the hashtag #WHPfromwhereistand to photos taken over this weekend and only submit your own photographs to the project. Any image taken then tagged over the weekend is eligible to be featured right here Monday morning!

This is super cool! And if you input “The Treehotel”...

A Night in Sweden’s Treehotel

In a remote part of Swedish Lapland, tucked away in a forest just south of the Arctic Circle, are the most stylish tree houses in the world. The Treehotel in Harads, Sweden, has five unique “treerooms” all elevated 4-6 meters above ground: The Cabin, The Mirrorcube, The Bird’s Nest, The Blue Cone, and The UFO. Each room was designed by one of Scandinavia’s leading architects with custom-designed furniture, lighting, and fabrics.

The idea behind the Treehotel is to create a space that gives people a chance to “experience nature amongst the tree-tops, while also providing a uniquely designed housing experience.” Want to see more? Check out photos Instagrammers have taken there by visiting the Treehotel location page.

Japan’s Coming of Age Day (成人の日)

Want to see more colorful photos from Coming of Age Day? Search the hashtags #成人の日 and #ComingOfAgeDay.

On the second Monday of every January, Japan observes Coming of Age Day, a holiday meant to commemorate and celebrate young Japanese men and women who turned 20—legal adult age—during the previous year.

While Coming of Age Day was made an official holiday in 1948, similar ceremonies have been held throughout Japan since the early 8th century. Japanese men and women celebrating the occasion often don traditional clothing and attend events at local government offices in the morning before hosting parties and celebrating with friends and family later in the day.

Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:14:37 -0500

Instaplayer, the best app to experience your Instagram moments anywhere is now live on the App Store!

Instaplayer was done by Instagramers for Instagramers, it is free to download and works on all your iOS devices. That’s right! iPhone, iPod, iPad, iPad mini and last but not least iPhone 5.

But Instaplayer is a lot more than a beautifully designed Instagram viewer; Instaplayer re-designs social photography for any type of social gathering. It is the perfect moment sharing platform!

In the video above, you can see Instaplayer projected to a big screen TV via an Apple TV. This particular event was a party, we used the hashtag: #instaplayerparty . Every time someone snapped a photo using Instagram and tagged it “#instaplayerparty”, the photo would be printed live on the TV screen as you can see in the video. Cool right!
Try it out this weekend with your friends, or even better create your own personal hashtag for the holidays and share it with all your loved ones.

Remember, Instaplayer is all about sharing those moments that make our hearts sing with the people we love.

Download Instaplayer for free here: http://bit.ly/QXuWi7

We would love to hear how it works out for all you Instagramers out there, give us a shout @chipotlelabs or send us an email at whatup(at)chipotlelabs.com

Check it out! Here is a small sneak peek of Instaplayer in action following today’s elections.

What you see in the video above, is the iPad screen being recorded. Currently, the screen is showing only photos tagged with #voted. You will see how I type #vote and new Instagram photos start to be printed live on the screen.
You will be able to do the same with any hashtag, username or even a location and use Airplay to extend the experience to any Apple TV enabled screen.

All the photos you see printed, are photos pulled from Instagram live at that moment.

Remember to sign up at chipotlelabs.com to get Instaplayer for free before anyone else as soon as it’s released by mid november of this year.

Introducing Instaplayer.

We love Instagram, we love the moments each photograph represents, we love the poetry around music and more than that we love sharing those moments that make our hearts sing with our loved ones. Instaplayer is designed around precisely that, “sharing moments through Instagram photos and music with our friends and family”

For starters Instaplayer works with devices you already own, including for the first time ever Apple TV. You’ll be able to experience your Instagram photos on the iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, iPhone 5, iPod touch and, yes, on any screen as long as it’s connected to an Apple TV. How cool is that! But wait there’s more, a lot more.

Instaplayer also allows you to curate your screen with your Instagram Gallery, and up to four different filters. You can choose between users, hashtags, locations all around the world or a mix of all.
Every time a new photo with your personalized parameters is taken with Instagram, it will automatically be printed in a beautiful 3D polaroid-style animation.
New and old photos are also introduced with a sliding animation of the photo tiles, this way your screen is always being updated for you to enjoy. On top of all that, you can now also add a soundtrack to your Instagram photos, with our “vintage music player”

Here are some of the features Instaplayer will have:
- Custom Airplay Mirroring.
- Instant Polaroid-style Printing.
- Animated Instagram Gallery.
- Curated screen.
- Vintage Music Player.

Instaplayer will be released by mid November of this year.
