A simple motion amplification algorithm suitable for real-time applications on mobile devices is presented. It is based on motion enhancement by moving average differencing (MEMAD), a temporal high-pass filter for video streams. MEMAD can amplify small moving objects or subtle motion in larger objects. It is computationally sufficiently simple to be implemented in real time on smartphones. In the specific implementation as an Android phone app, MEMAD is demonstrated on examples chosen such as to motivate applications in the engineering, biological, and medical sciences.
