## What is DepthWeaver?

DepthWeaver turns real-world depth into hidden-image stereograms. Capture a scene with the LiDAR scanner, generate depth from any photo with on-device AI, scan a real object with Apple's Object Capture, or load a 3D model — then watch a hidden image rise out of the noise as you cross your eyes.

CAPTURE DEPTH FIVE WAYS
• LiDAR live capture on iPhone Pro and iPad Pro — point, freeze, done
• On-device AI depth from any photo (Depth Anything V2)
• Scan real objects with Apple's Object Capture (Pro devices) — guided orbits turn a real object into a .usdz you can orbit and frame
• 3D model import — .usdz, .usd, .obj, .scn with an orbit camera so you choose the angle
• Bundled height map and 3D model presets to play with right away

PICK A PATTERN
• Six procedural generators: random dot, stars, Perlin noise, Worley noise, Voronoi cells, reaction-diffusion
• Import any image from your photo library as a custom tile
• Built-in texture library

TUNE EVERY KNOB
• DPI, depth strength, separation, oversampling
• Remap input and output depth ranges to push the subject forward or back
• Denoise quantized 8-bit imports for clean, banding-free output
• Invert depth in one tap
• Live preview redraws as you slide

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything runs on device. No account, no upload, no tracking, no ads. Your photos and 3D scans never leave your device.

UNDER THE HOOD
Parallelized implementation of the Thimbleby–Inglis–Witten autostereogram algorithm with W. A. Steer's link-based hidden-surface refinement. Powered by ARKit, Object Capture, Core ML, SceneKit, Metal, and Core Image. Output is upscaled so the minimum dimension is at least 960 px — print-ready or share-ready.

SHARE
Export high-resolution PNGs to Photos, Messages, AirDrop, or any app with a share sheet.

Available in English and French. For iPhone and iPad (iOS 18 or later) and Mac with Apple silicon (macOS 15 or later). LiDAR capture and Object Capture scans are iPhone and iPad only.

Capture a scene. Pick a pattern. Stare into it.

### 5/5 — Woof!

*2026-08-22*

Update I couldn’t see the right hand scroll bar to get to the active part of the app. It was invisible to me, but now that I found it I’m very happy and it’s gone up to five stars.—-oh boy! What a wonderful gift to human beings. I would advise you to hit the GET button and maybe you can get things going on with your 2020 iPad Pro and that has a ladder LIDAR and maybe you could even use it for once ha ha ha

Maybe this is only made for very modern iPhone Pro. I have a 2020 iPad Pro and all I get is removable picture of a dog in depth. I don’t see how to advance into the auto stereogram world. It looks like it’s great if you got the right equipment or maybe a MAC I don’t I used to have a Mac ii CI. ha ha one star because I’m disappointed not really. I’ll probably end up using this someday maybe

**Developer response:** Check out the new version coming soon, tried to set up a better interface !

## Frequently asked questions about DepthWeaver

### How does DepthWeaver create Magic Eye images?

DepthWeaver uses depth data captured via LiDAR, on-device AI from photos, or 3D scans. This depth information is then mapped onto various procedural patterns to create the illusion of a hidden 3D image when viewed correctly.

### What devices is DepthWeaver compatible with?

DepthWeaver is available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It requires iOS 17+ and utilizes features like LiDAR and Object Capture on compatible iPhone Pro models.

### Can I use my own images as patterns in DepthWeaver?

Yes, DepthWeaver allows you to import any image from your photo library to be used as a custom tile or pattern for your stereograms.

### Does DepthWeaver have ads?

No, DepthWeaver is ad-free. The app is designed with privacy in mind, running entirely on-device with no tracking or advertisements.

### What are the privacy features of DepthWeaver?

DepthWeaver is private by design. All processing occurs on your device, meaning no account is needed, no data is uploaded, and your photos and scans never leave your iPhone.

### How often is DepthWeaver updated?

The latest version of DepthWeaver is 1.2.0, last updated on August 28, 2026. Updates typically bring new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes.

### What is the age rating for DepthWeaver?

DepthWeaver has an age rating of 4+. This indicates it is suitable for users of all ages, with no mature content.

### Can I export my creations from DepthWeaver?

Yes, you can export your stereograms as high-resolution PNG files. These can be easily shared via Photos, Messages, AirDrop, or any app that supports the share sheet.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-25

What's new in 1.2.1:

• About DepthWeaver. The website, support, privacy policy and source code are now one tap away — the ⓘ button on iPhone and iPad, the Help menu on Mac — along with a shortcut to rate the app and discover my other apps.
• Support DepthWeaver. If you enjoy the app, you can now leave an optional tip: small, medium or large. It unlocks nothing — DepthWeaver stays free, with no ads, no account and no tracking.
• On Mac, estimating depth from a photo no longer freezes the window. Plus small fixes throughout.

Capture a scene. Pick a pattern. Stare into it.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-28

What's new in 1.2:

• A brand-new look. The main screen is now built around the stereogram itself — a full-bleed canvas with a frosted-glass tool drawer that slides out of the way when you want to look.
• Learn to see it. A built-in trainer walks you through the cross-eye technique, step by step, until the hidden image snaps into focus.
• Depth presets. Soft, Standard and Punchy give you a good-looking result in one tap — fine-tune from there if you want.
• See your depth in 3D. The depth-source screen now shows a live 3D point cloud of what you captured, so you know what you're working with before you weave it.
• Faster photo depth. AI depth estimation no longer blocks the interface — the app stays responsive while it thinks.
• The 3D model screen, the result view and the depth adjustment controls have all been rebuilt to match, plus a pile of fixes.

Capture a scene. Pick a pattern. Stare into it.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-06-24

What's new in 1.1:

• Faster, smoother previews — stereograms now render on the GPU with a new Metal engine.
• Scan real objects with Apple's Object Capture (Pro devices) and weave them into Magic Eye art.
• Import 3D models — .usdz, .usd, .obj, .scn — and orbit to pick the perfect angle.
• Result-screen polish and assorted fixes.

Capture a scene. Pick a pattern. Stare into it.
