Certificate of Concentration

Concentration Certificate issued by the fictional planet
Croda, recognizing their focused productivity while using the Gogh app. This adds a fun and gamified element to the experience, motivating users to intensify their work.
Enhanced Shooting Capabilities
Another exciting feature includes support for background-transparent shots. By hiding the room and background, users can create clean images and green-screen videos, improving their content creation workflow.
Additional Concentration Poses
To improve user engagement, Gogh has introduced 13 new concentration poses combining different work postures and activities, further enriching the avatar's capabilities.
