Face Mesh
Visualize and interact with ARKit's 3D face mesh. Developers can see vertex indices, select specific parts of the face, and export index arrays for use in FaceTracking applications.
- Visualize vertex indices on 3D face mesh
- Tap to select/deselect individual vertices
- Select face outline and eyes
- Export index arrays
- Pinch to zoom, pan, and rotate gestures

Face Mesh app is for iOS developers who need to visually learn the vertex indices for the ARFaceGeometry face mesh provided by Apple Developer. These vertex indices are very important for working in ARKit and especially for developing FaceTracking apps. You will be able to see the actual location of each vertex in the 3D face mesh grid. Each vertex is labeled with its index as it exists in ARFaceGeometry.vertices() • Tap on individual vertices to select/deselect. • Use All, None & Invert options to easily build complex selections. • Easily select face geometry outline and individual eyes. • Export your selections as an array of indices with one tap. How to move around the face mesh? - Pinch to zoom in/out - Pan with one finger to rotate - Pan with two fingers to move - Rotate with two fingers to rotate on the z-axis

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pyto IDE at Free against Face Mesh's $19.99. Pyto IDE also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 38 months) and ratings volume (995 vs 16). Face Mesh's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4). On review sentiment, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
