Gallery AR vs 360inAR

Gallery AR turns your surroundings into the art gallery. You just need to pick up the phone and find a wall. The iconic art paints will show in front of you! You can walk as close as you want, or sit well into the couch in the living room. Don't worry about the dress code. Enjoy famous art collections! Gallery AR collects the artworks from The Art Insitute of Chicago. They released more than 50,000 artworks into the public domain in 2018, and the number will grow regularly. Besides, Gallery AR will also expand the source of art collections to other galleries, museums or institutes.

360inAR turns photos from your album into a semi-transparent AR sphere that appears in front of your iPhone or iPad. From the outside, the sphere is translucent—but when you scale it up and step inside, you can view the panorama without transparency, as if you’re surrounded by the image. For the best first experience, start in a relatively spacious area and walk while holding your device. What’s New You can now export your AR sphere as a USDZ file. Save your creation and share it as an AR-ready object using the system share sheet. You can also choose the sphere texture format (JPG or PNG) and select the sphere size (20 cm or 3.6 m diameter). Placement & Fine Tuning After the sphere appears, you can fine-tune its position for a comfortable AR experience. Because AR takes a bit of practice to understand the relationship between scale and distance, fine adjustments are designed to work near the initial placement. To place the sphere somewhere else, move to the desired location and triple-tap to reset the position.
