Digitize Reality: Transform your mobile device into a powerful 3D scanner. Simply point and record to create professional-grade 3D models. Pair with a compatible RTK device for centimeter-level accuracy, precise measurements, and geolocated 3D reconstructions. Visualize the captured model in the app, upload and export, and view it in AR. New ArcGIS Workflow: PIX4Dcatch now streams ArcGIS data in realtime in AR to provide in-field operators full contextual information about the entire site including 3D reconstructions and attributes. Our capture feature generates complete and defensible georeferenced 3D reconstructions which can be communicated seamlessly back to ArcGIS. New Guide-To Feature: PIX4Dcatch has a guide-to feature directing users to specified geolocated assets for staking, boosting onsite efficiency and accuracy. Just select the point or reconstruction you would like to find and follow the arrows in AR. WORKFLOW 1 – Scan & Capture Walk around your site. The app automatically gathers data and provides live feedback using iOS LiDAR, ensuring you capture every detail. For enhanced accuracy, use an RTK device compatible with PIX4Dcatch, PIX4D Autotags with a fully automated workflow, or combine both. 2 – Process, Analyze & Share Process your data by uploading to PIX4Dcloud for online analysis and sharing, or export to PIX4Dmatic for desktop processing.

SnapShift is the simplest way to track your body transformation through progress photos. Whether you are building muscle, losing weight, or working toward any fitness goal, SnapShift keeps you motivated by showing real visual change over time. WHY SNAPSHOT? The scale does not tell the whole story. Photos reveal what numbers cannot. SnapShift makes it effortless to capture consistent progress photos and compare them side by side so you can see how far you have come. KEY FEATURES Ghost Overlay Camera Align every photo perfectly. A transparent outline of your previous photo appears on screen so each new shot matches the last. No more guessing angles or poses. Three Comparison Modes Compare your photos the way you want. Use side-by-side view, a swipeable slider, or an overlay blend to spot every detail of your progress. Timelapse Videos Turn your progress photos into a smooth timelapse video. Watch weeks or months of transformation in seconds and share it with friends or on social media. Body Metrics Tracking Log your weight and body fat percentage alongside each photo. Keep all your progress data in one place for the complete picture. Voice Activated Shutter Hands full? Just say the word. Voice-activated shutter lets you take photos without touching your phone. Privacy First Your photos stay on your device. Face ID and Touch ID lock keeps your progress private. Export with automatic privacy blur to hide faces when sharing. iCloud Sync Your albums and photos sync seamlessly across all your Apple devices via iCloud. Batch Import Already have progress photos in your camera roll? Import them all at once and organize by date. FREE FOREVER SnapShift is free to download with genuine value.
