In order to show off the capabilities of the new Snapdragon mobile processor, 130 HTC Ones powered by the Snapdragon were used to stop time frame by frame.

This is one of the coolest viral ads/marketing campaigns we’ve ever seen and it’s amazing to think the images were created with just a few smartphones. Okay, so 130 is more than ‘a few’, but still, it’s pretty awesome technology.

Here’s what it says over on the Snapdragon website: “130 HTC One smartphones. One spiral housing. 540 degrees of movement. The Snapdragon Booth is a one of a kind 540 degree photo booth made entirely of smartphones, each powered by a Snapdragon processor.”

Some people have started turning the videos into .gifs and the end results have been brilliant; the best one being the dog jumping off its owner’s back.
