SpaghettiAR is a prototyping platform that allows you to draw in 3D, sketch and place assets in augmented reality. You can also record your #pastacular augmented creations and share them with your friends. At the NEEEU studio we work often with mixed reality. Before SpaghettiAR, we felt like we needed a tool to test our ideas, to illustrate our concepts to our partners or create quick mixed reality prototypes. So we created this app. The situation escalated pretty quickly and we started to add funny drawing all over the plate. SpaghettiAR left us ravioling on the floor from laughter, so we wanted to share it pesto with the rest of the world! FEATURES 2d drawing: Draw a 2D sketch and place it in space. 3d drawing: Use your phone like a 3D controller, move it around to create a tridimensional drawing in space. Image placement: Import an image and place it in space. CONTACT Do you wanna know how we come up with so many pasta puns or get in touch? Drop us an email at: hello@neeeu.io Check out the amazing works we have created using Spaghetti AR at: https://neeeu.io/ PERMISSIONS REQUIRED: We will ask you to grant us access to the following: camera: to let you prototype in augmented reality and record videos. gallery: to save videos of drawings on your device.

Use augmented reality to distort real world surfaces as if they were made of water. Add waves and raindrops to any flat vertical or horizontal surfaces. watAR is great for creating unique images and videos to share. Or you can just have fun trying the effects on different surfaces around you. Highlights: • Add waves and rain effects to the real world surfaces around you using AR. watAR's unique AR really makes it look like the surface is being distorted! • Fine grained control over wave and rain effects. Create everything from a light drizzle to a downpour. • Interact with the water effect on your screen by touching and dragging. • Capture ready to share images and videos of the water effect in action. • Scale the water effect up to epic sizes! • Use your hands, feet, or anything else to physically interact with the water effect (note that this requires a device with a LiDAR sensor and you must enable the "interactive surface" option) • Adjust lighting and optionally enable "foreground occlusion" so that the water effect blends into the world (note that foreground occlusion requires a device with a LiDAR sensor) So give watAR a try and let us know if you create anything cool using it!
