NinthScene
Read full descriptionHide full description
NinthScene is an AR app that lets you place 3D models directly in real rooms. Scan a floor or table with your iPhone, choose a model, and tap the surface to place it. You can drag to move it, rotate with two fingers, pinch to scale, and adjust its height until it sits exactly where you want. What makes NinthScene different from a typical AR preview is Spaces. Save a scanned room together with its complete layout. When you return to the same room, open the Space and move your iPhone slowly to relocalize; your previously placed items return to their saved positions. Create separate Spaces for different rooms and keep each layout organized. In addition to the built-in collection, you can import your own USDZ models from Files. Imported models can be placed, saved, and restored just like built-in models. USDZ files with skeletal animations can play and switch actions in the scene. On supported devices, RealityKit Object Capture can also turn a real object into a 3D model that you can place in AR. Use NinthScene to plan furniture and decor, preview the real-world size of 3D artwork, arrange figures and collectibles, or preserve scanned objects in layouts you can restore later. All app data is processed and stored on your device. No account is required. NinthScene contains no advertising or third-party analytics, and camera frames and room scans are not uploaded. FREE AND PRO The free version includes placement, editing, and saving and restoring Spaces, with limits of 2 Spaces and 5 imported models. Upgrade to Pro to unlock: • Unlimited Spaces • Unlimited imported models • Object Capture scanning (supported devices only) • USDZ animation playback Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase, not a subscription, and does not renew automatically. Restore Purchases is available for the same Apple Account. REQUIREMENTS Requires an ARKit-capable iPhone running iOS 17 or later and camera permission for AR surface detection. Object Capture is available only on devices with the required hardware support.

Verdict
