Apollo vs 3D Perspective Camera
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Apollo
Enhance your Portrait Mode photos by adding and manipulating light sources after the shot. This app reconstructs a 3D map of your image, allowing real-time adjustments to color, intensity, and distance of lights for professional-looking results.
- Add light sources to Portrait Mode photos
- Adjust light color, intensity, and distance
- Real-time 3D light and shadow rendering
- Create invisible light sources
- Edit photos after they are taken

*** Apollo operates on Portrait Mode photos (requires iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus, X or NEWER). *** Apollo is the FIRST application that enables you to add light sources to your **Portrait Mode** photos, after the photo was taken! Apollo reconstructs a 3D map of your photo which you can augment with new light sources in real time. Take your portrait mode photographs from awesome to unforgettable by selecting the color, intensity, distance of a light and illuminate your photos and selfies to your heart's content. *** WARNING: Taking portrait mode photos requires iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus, X or NEWER. *** Apollo is the first app to use the depth data of your portrait mode photos to calculate photorealistic light and shadow. Using a proprietary processing algorithm running on your iPhone's graphics card, Apollo is able to render light sources on a portrait scene or selfie in real time. Apollo allows professional photographers and amateurs alike to try things that are not possible in the physical world. You can shape scene lighting by adding or even removing light. Since lights are computationally rendered in the scene, it is possible to put a light source within the frame: say hello to invisible lamps! The UI is optimised for use with one thumb, allowing you to always view the entire photo. One price, no in-app purchases and no subscriptions. We hope that Apollo is part of the computational photography revolution. We are doing our best but your support is crucial. Send us your feedback, ideas or bug reports on our support email. Show off your lighting chops on our social media outlets. --- Instagram: @apollo_illumination_app and share with tag: #apollo_illumination --- Facebook page: apollo.illumination --- Follow us on twitter: @Apollo_illum or share with tag: #apollo_illumination
3D Perspective Camera
Read full descriptionHide full description
●It is a unique camera app that allows you to take 3D photos with a perspective effect in real-time. ●The fastest method for 3D photography. Excellent UI design with just one touch on the camera screen. ●This is a system that creates parallax between the image at touchdown and the image at touchup. (Touchdown-> Move the camera a little sideways-> Touchup-> Stop shooting) ●Anaglyph support. Anyone can see 3D photos using red and blue glasses. ●In addition, this app supports autostereoscopic vision. You can see either the parallel method or the intersection method. ● If you set the shooting mode to normal, you can also create normal perspective photos. [About Anaglyph] - If you have strong strabismus, use red / blue glasses to view in anaglyph mode. - Red and blue glasses can be easily made with cellophane sold at hundred-yen shops. - Those who can perform autostereoscopic viewing can also enjoy stereoscopic viewing by turning off the anaglyph mode. [About autostereoscopic vision] This is a method of viewing the image of the left eye and the image of the right eye with the naked eye while feeling the three-dimensional image in three dimensions. There are two methods for autostereoscopic viewing: the parallel method and the cross method. The parallel method is a method in which the left image is viewed with the left eye and the right image is viewed with the right eye. The cross method is a method of viewing the left image with the right eye and the right image with the left eye. You can easily find out how to practice the parallel method and dating method by searching the web. Stereoscopic vision is said to improve the ability to focus with both eyes and help restore vision. It is thought to promote the movement of the eye muscles and visual field, thereby activating the brain. [Settings] - Stereoscopic image layout: [Normal] / [Anaglyph] / [L][R] / [R][L] - Perspective effect depth setting: Touch operation on the image - Fisheye effect depth - Storage resolution: 20-100% of original resolution [output] - Save to camera roll: 3D photo - 3D photo sharing: AirDrop, LINE, Facebook, Dropbox, Instagram, ...

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Apollo at monthly against 3D Perspective Camera's every 39 months. 3D Perspective Camera's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
