The fun of filming "the next morning"-trying to use the invitational disposable camera style SNS "Dispo"-CNET Japan

　When the voice SNS "Clubhouse" is too popular, there are also "invitation system" services that have attracted much attention. Photo SNS app "Dispo (Dispo)". It is characterized by the ability to take real-time camera-style photos, which can not be seen until the next morning.

　As soon as the beta version appeared in mid-February, it attracted the attention of more than 10, 000 people in a twinkling of an eye. An official version has been released, but like Clubhouse, there is only iOS. The invitation system remains unchanged, and each account is granted 20 invitation boxes.

　What kind of service is Dispo and why is it getting so much attention? I would like to explain it in combination with the feelings I have actually used.

The photos were taken until "9: 00 the next morning."

　The biggest feature of Dispo is that, in any case, the photos taken will not be seen until 9: 00 the next morning. A slightly longer explanation is needed for that reason.

　David Dobrik, the founder of the famous YouTuber,Dispo, created an account called "@ davidsdisposable" on Instagram, where he posted photos taken with disposable cameras (instant cameras). Posts posted several times a month are popular accounts with 3.26 million followers.

　Mr. Doblick commented on the attractiveness of disposable cameras on Dispo. An article entitled "Live in the moment." wrote: "with disposable cameras, we can get our lives back from smartphones." Dispo means disposable (disposable).

　When taking pictures with a smartphone camera, many people will take pictures, check and retake them until they are accepted. Sometimes it will be filtered if necessary. However, the disposable camera cannot see the photos immediately. In other words, after shooting, you can only put down the camera and enjoy the same place. The work was expected until the next morning.

　Dispo is an application created by this worldview. Because shooting that moment is a concept, images saved on smartphones cannot be shared. The moment that Dispo filmed is an irreplaceable moment.

"disgusting photos" are very popular around the world focusing on young people.

　Dispo is just shooting with the app's camera. You can do a little zoom, but you can't select a filter. Strengthen the flash and the image is a little rougher. This is the smell of disposable cameras and old film cameras.

　When it comes to disposable cameras, "sketching" is very famous in Japan. Manuscripts centered on young women have been popular since a few years ago. More than 1 million posts with hashtags have been posted on Instagram, such as "# manuscript" and "Life with # Writing". Because only the film camera has a disgusting smell.

　The popular word "disgusting (feeling shaken)" among young people in China began a few years ago. Minabi Jeans' trendy list of "popular Kotoba" released in 2018 by teenage girls came first with "disgusting". Since then, young people have wanted disgusting photos, and photo apps have become increasingly popular.

　In 2020, the APP that entered the popularity list of female high school students has "Dazz- film camera". In this app, it is popular to take selfies while playing with soap bubbles. Since a long time ago, Dispo-like processing has been similar to cameras. However, Dazz is an application that reproduces the effect of a film camera, and there are no more mechanisms. On the basis of capturing the needs of young people, going deep into the design of the way to face the mobile phone camera can be said to be interesting about Dispo.

Try to use the charm of flat communication with Dispo--Rolls.

　So, let's look at the actual usability. To start Dispo, you need an invitation based on your phone number. Accept the invitation and the home screen will be displayed when you create the account. The surprisingly small part of the viewfinder. Press the shutter button of the application to shoot. The photos can't be seen until 9 o'clock the next morning. At 9: 00, go to your "Library" tab.

　Dispo has an album-like feature called "Rolls". Anyone can create a Rolls, and you can choose "Public" and "Private". You can assign photos to the Rolls you created or add photos to a person's Rolls. You can also specify Rolls to shoot first. Although it is a way to find Rolls, it may be because Japanese is not supported yet, so it cannot be retrieved from the search bar. Therefore, it will be invited to create the Rolls or the people involved, or to discover and participate in the user's profile.

　Public's Rolls, created by people who become modellers, can manage members and post photos. Rolls is lined with photos posted on the same theme, so you can browse left and right embossed. At the bottom of the photo, the user name taken is displayed. Well, it's also possible to communicate with comments. Rolls has Scoreboard, which ranks members according to the number of contributions, good, comments, etc.

　Speaking of good numbers, Instagram is doing a hidden number test to avoid being bothered by good things. Scoreboard is a completely opposite concept. However, Scoreboard is a good person, and the commentator will also be ranked, so it is related to the activity of communication. Everyone is filming in the same app where the feature is locked, which is also difficult to generate a fight.

　When I first learned about Dispo, I speculated that APP, a popular camera for young people who can take "disgusting" pictures, told them to wait until 9: 00 the next morning to feel like a disposable camera.

　However, in fact, not confused by the production of the photo, there is hope to enjoy the profound concept of that moment. We confirmed on the spot after taking photos, carefully processed after going home, and it has become a matter of course for perfect works to be uploaded to social networking sites.

　Is it necessary to perform yourself to this point? Leave the moment to enjoy the presence, and share the developed photos with your peers the next day. Dispo reminds people how to use smartphones before the advent of the time. If you have a chance to get an invitation, be sure to experience this sense of nostalgia.
