## What is Ato Capture?

Ato turns the space around you into a sculpture of light.

Point your iPhone at a room, a plant or a street. Ato captures it with the LiDAR scanner and rebuilds it as a cloud of dots you can restyle and set in motion. Everything happens on your iPhone.

• Style the dots: size, shape, colour and density
• Add drifting atmosphere, flowing particles and glow
• See effects live on the camera
• Export images, videos and animated photos, or the 3D file as PLY or SPZ
• Import PLY, SPZ and SPLAT files from other apps

Free to download and scan. A one-time Ato Unlimited purchase unlocks every effect, video export and unlimited scans. No subscription.

Scanning and Live need an iPhone with LiDAR (iPhone 12 Pro or later Pro models). Any iPhone can import and style PLY, SPZ and SPLAT files.

## Pricing and in-app purchases

Base price: Free.
