## What is Record3D?

Record your very own 3D Videos using the selfie *FaceID* camera or the *LiDAR* sensor! Export them into FBX, glTF, sequence of PLY files, OBJ or Alembic. Use WebRTC Wi-Fi Streaming, export into RGBD mp4 videos.

Export 3D videos into the Spatial Video format (only on iOS 17 or newer) or into SBS (Side-by-Side) stereo videos.

Show your Volumetric Videos in AR and experience the **True3D effect**: turn your iPhone or iPad into a window through which you can see into the world behind your screen, where your 3D Videos live! True3D is activated by pressing the "3D" button in the vertical toolbar. Be sure to be in portrait orientation to activate True3D.

Are you a Digital Artist or a Developer? Then there is something for you too. You can stream RGBD video from your device into your computer via USB cable. Just install C++ or Python library and you are good to go. The C++ and Python libraries are open source — therefore there is no need to be worried about privacy (as you can easily verify for yourself).

You can also buy the Wi-Fi Streaming & RGBD Video export Extension Pack and stream 3D Videos (with color-coded depth data) via Wi-Fi using WebRTC — that means you can stream 3D Videos even into a web browser! Note that Wi-Fi Streaming works ONLY over your local network (LAN), NOT over the Internet. Wi-Fi Streaming delivers lower quality depth data compared to USB streaming, because it leverages lossy compression. For more details about Wi-Fi Streaming, visit https://record3d.app

Note that the Unity USB Streaming demo is currently not compatible with the Wi-Fi Streaming feature. Wi-Fi Streaming uses a completely different technology, so you will need to rewrite the Unity demo to work with Wi-Fi Streaming.

With that same Extension Pack, you can encode (export) 3D Videos into RGBD mp4 videos, which can be used for example for viewing your 3D Videos in a Looking Glass holographic display. If you are an artist or a developer, you can use the mp4 RGBD videos for offline 3D Video visualisation.

Speaking of privacy, Record3D does not track you, does not contain any analytics, ads nor any other invasive things. Everything you do in the app stays on the device, is completely yours and not shared with any third parties. The Wi-Fi Streaming feature works only on your local network (LAN), it does NOT work over the Internet.

The app offers you 3 free 3D Videos so that you can evaluate some of its functionality before purchasing.

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-07-24, version 1.10.6*

Is it possible to add an option to load/record spatial videos into the app?

### 5/5 — Hell yeah

*2026-01-21*

Been looking for something like this for awhile, stoked that this exists. Crashes on me a lot while exporting but not to the point where it’s unusable. Highly recommend for touchdesigner

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-01-20, version 1.10.6*

Thank you it works and was cool seeing face scan recordings

### 2/5 — I want my money back!

*2026-01-17, version 1.10.6*

It’s meh for what it does, although when I tried displaying a video, it showed a strange grey square instead of the video, and lagged my entire phone to the point where I had to completely forcefully restart it.

Update 1/16/2026
I bought the $5 version and it doesn't work.

### 5/5 — how to iG live stream?

*2025-12-07*

how can i live stream to instagram? because i want to be able to stream live videos with the 3D effect…

**Developer response:** Unforunately, that is not possible.

### 5/5 — Awesome! 5 stars!

*2025-11-14, version 1.10.6*

This app is awesome. I love the fact that the developer gives you 3 demo videos before purchasing. I was sold on the very first one.

To the developer, could you add that when you are recording, instead of seeing a color depth map, could you add the option to overlay what the main camera is seeing? Just so when I film people don’t look at me strange. I know this app is 4 years old but it could be even more awesome to have that.

### 2/5 — I want my money back!

*2025-06-27*

It’s meh for what it does, although when I tried displaying a video, it showed a strange grey square instead of the video, and lagged my entire phone to the point where I had to completely forcefully restart it.

**Developer response:** Hello, you can, of course, get your money back — you can get a refund for every app you buy on the App Store; just go to https://reportaproblem.apple.com — if you would encounter any problem, simply send me an email at support@hege.sh and I will help you. 

If you saw a gray square, then it means the video is zoomed-in. In that case, please try to double-tap anywhere on the screen to reset the zoom/scale/translation settings.

This app is meant primarily for developers and artists who use the app's ability to export 3D videos into various formats. If you have a specific use-case in mind, feel free to drop me an email and I will tell you if Record3D is a good app for your purposes.

All the best,
Marek

### 5/5 — Can’t use the WiFi streaming (update: fixed)

*2025-06-10*

It used to fail loading the iPhone server from my local computer using WiFi but now it works! It does everything it promised!

**Developer response:** Hi, please send me an email at support@record3d.app so that we can communicate faster and figure out what went wrong in your case (it takes some time for an App Store review/reply to become publicly visible).

For start: is your iPhone and PC **on the same Wi-Fi network** and none of the two devices use VPN? The Wi-Fi streaming does not work over the Internet, it works just on the local Wi-Fi network. When you switch to the Wi-Fi mode and press the red toggle button, your iPhone should be "visible" on your local network, so you should be able to enter the IP address of your iPhone into the web browser running on your computer (which should be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone).

Looking forward to helping you fix the issue via email (support@record3d.app)!

Kind regards,
Marek

### 3/5 — Can’t use the WiFi streaming

Hi, I just purchased the full app and wifi but I cannot connect to the IP address. I am using the latest iOS 18.5 with the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
