## What is TraceAR?

Convert a photo into an outline then use augmented reality to project the image onto paper and trace through your device's camera.

The app includes a demo image to try out the tracing features and if you like it - then through an In-App purchase you can unlock access to your personal photo library to trace one of your own images.

The augmented reality feature requires an image to 'anchor' to - so it's a good idea to use something like a ruler or a passport photo as an anchor point.

- To select your own photo, the app needs access to your photo library if you purchase the In-App Purchase option
