What's New in ZPTH

3.3

August 6, 2026

ZPTH 3.3 adds fifteen new modes — and they don't need a depth sensor at all. FIFTEEN MONOCULAR MODES • Depth is now inferred from a single camera by a Core ML model running on your device. That means these fifteen modes work on the front AND rear camera of any iPhone ZPTH runs on, with no LiDAR scanner required. • Parallax orbits the scene from one still viewpoint. Anaglyph gives you real red/cyan 3D, plus a glasses-free wiggle. Aperture is a cinema lens with shaped bokeh and a focus puller. Vertigo is Hitchcock's dolly zoom, live. • Nebula, Motes, Godlight and Aerial put real atmosphere in the air between you and the scene — cloud, dust, sun shafts and haze that wrap behind people instead of sitting on top of them. • Woodblock, Stipple, Papercut and Riso rebuild the frame as print: engraved hatching, ink stipple, torn paper plates and misregistered spot colour. • Lattice, Hologram and Datamosh handle the science-fiction end: a scanning wireframe mesh, a projected hologram, and codec smear where depth decides what tears. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS • A small tile that opens ZPTH, a medium carousel for stepping through modes, and a large grid that puts every mode one tap from the Home Screen. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • Papercut now stacks up to 20 paper plates, with a new Depth Reach control that sets how far back into the scene the plates are cut. • Stipple's dot field no longer skews out of the top-left corner — the perspective now converges where the lens does. • On iPhones without a rear LiDAR scanner, the camera flip button now appears in the monocular modes, so you can use the rear camera there too. Everything still runs on your device. No account, no internet, no tracking; the microphone (Pulsar, Cymatic) and local-network (NDI) features remain opt-in and off by default.

User reviews

Amazing visual tool

Yet another fantastic app from this developer. Like his even more in-depth tool TDLiDAR, this app provides a bucket-full of effects and adjustable parameters using the output from the iPhone’s LiDAR sensor. Perfect for artistic displays, music VJs, or just for fun.

buggy

cool app but it’s a buggy mess and the interface sucks with hidden swipe gestures and collapsing menus and infinite scroll on the mode selection.
