■ Your Camera, Reimagined as a Sci-Fi Movie Scope ■ Lock2Cam overlays a real-time object detection HUD on your iPhone's camera feed, transforming everyday vision into a sci-fi / cyberpunk experience. A near-future scouter, a fighter jet's target view — visuals you'd only see in movies, now on your phone with no special gear. ■ Key Features ■ ● Real-time Object Detection HUD The app detects people and objects in your camera feed in real time, drawing them with neon green frames and rune-style labels that follow each target. The stylized labels add to the sci-fi atmosphere while keeping detected names visually obscured — a deliberate nod to subject privacy. ● Lock-On Animation (Red Vector) Every 20 seconds, a randomly selected target gets a dramatic red lock-on animation — the green frame turns red and zooms in to capture it. This layers extra immersion on top of the standard HUD. ● Fully On-Device Processing All camera frames and detection data stay on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, transmitted, or stored externally. Privacy by design. ● Portrait & Landscape Support The HUD adapts automatically to portrait and landscape orientation, letting you frame shots however you like. ■ Requirements ■ iPhone (iOS 16.0 or later) / iPad (iPadOS 16.0 or later) ■ Technical Notes ■ Object detection runs entirely on-device using Apple's Vision framework with the official YOLOv3 sample model (Apple Sample Code License). No cloud services, no third-party SDKs, no analytics. Turn the everyday into sci-fi.

Verdict
