VoxelizeAR is a novel augmented reality app that lets you turn the real world into voxels (3D pixels). Paint on the screen to convert parts of the world into blocky, pixelated geometry. Features: • Turn the world around you into voxels. This is much more than a simple filter, voxelizeAR is an augmented reality app sp the voxelization effect persists even when you walk around! • Real time voxel color updates. VoxelizeAR dynamically updates the color of voxels to capture changes in the scene, such as flowing water. • Change voxel sizes. Use small size to capture fine details or larger sizes for a more chunky look. • Voxelize just want you want. Use different brush sizes to control which parts of the world become pixelated. • Capture photos and videos of your voxelized creations. Devices with a LiDAR sensor can voxelize arbitrary 3D objects. Devices without one can still run voxelizerAR great but can only voxelize flat surfaces.
