It's still "simulated" which means Photoshopped / After Effects. I"m actually pretty nervous because there's no "simulated" disclaimer, yet these mock-ups are terribly rough:
- fake / inconsistent lighting accents & bevel
- screens in the photos are pixelated (looks like a screen-res quality source was rotated), yet the 3D model's screen is totally smooth suggesting 400 dpi or better
- clip rotation angles are off
- the cropping is poor, has antialiasing problems
- Domenic_S 13y agoIn other words, you can tell by some of the pixels?
- twic 13y agoWell, i imagine radley has seen quite a few shops in his time.
- mcescalante 13y agoA+, didn't think I'd see this reference on HN :)

- radley 13y agoAn easy way to tell: look at the edges of the text area's white background. See how they're kinda jaggy, almost like steps? That's due to low resolution. Either the device is low res (which most smart phones are) or the source image was. Now look at the edges of the 3D watch's hands: they're all smooth at every angle. That means either a 3D mock-up or an incredibly high res screen. Yet look at the black watch face in the prior shot: all the hands are jagged.
- TeMPOraL 13y agoNice; though reading your explanation made me imagine how we're getting close to https://xkcd.com/331/ https://xkcd.com/331/ territory ;).

- fwr 13y agoI thought this disclaimer was needed only for TV ads.
- michaelmior 13y agoIMO if you're a responsible marketer, this is needed everywhere.
- minimax 13y agoDid you watch the video? Looks like they have real prototypes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xQ3y902DEQ&noredirect=1#t=60 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xQ3y902DEQ&noredirect=1#t=6...
- dzlobin 13y agoHe means that it may be a real device prototype, but the video is added in post.
- sillysaurus3 13y agoIt's no doubt a real watch he's wearing, but I'm pretty sure the screen is fake. No screen that emits photons would appear like that when recorded by a camcorder. The brightness and crispness is visibly wrong. I'm pretty sure it's CG.
- Scene_Cast2 13y agoThe screen is definitely an overlay. There's even a tiny tracking glitch at 1:09-1:10.
- Nickoladze 13y ago>I'm pretty sure the screen is fake It says that the screen is simulated at 0:23.
- radley 13y ago"Screen Images Simulated" fine print @ 0:25 (under the scrubber) I've never seen Android that smooth and I'm an Android UI expert. That's all After Effects.

- MBCook 13y agoWe'll see what the real one ends up like. iPhone screens (and the recent Galaxy S screens) look great in 'simulated' images, and look pretty amazing in real life. On the other hand, I've seen a Galaxy Gear in person and the screen was not impressive. But I bet the 'simulated images' look pretty good.
- leonvonblut 13y agoit's not photoshop at all, device emulator exists and it works good.
