Transform your surroundings without leaving the camera. DepthCam uses real-time person segmentation to separate you from your background, letting you apply creative background effects directly in the live camera preview. Choose a subtle blur, create a monochrome atmosphere, add a comic-inspired style, or replace the background with an image from your photo library. What you see in the preview is what DepthCam records. REAL-TIME BACKGROUND EFFECTS • Original Keep the natural camera background without additional effects. • Blur Soften the background and keep attention on the person in front of the camera. • Mono Turn the background monochrome while keeping the subject visible. • Comic Give the background a bold, illustrated appearance. • Replace Choose your own image and use it as a custom background. MADE FOR LIVE VIDEO • Real-time person segmentation • Smooth Metal-powered camera preview • Front and back camera support • Live composited video recording • Recordings saved directly to Photos • Simple and focused camera controls DepthCam processes the live camera image to create the final visual effect while you record. There is no need to edit the background afterward. Whether you are recording a creative clip, improving the look of your surroundings, or simply experimenting with different visual styles, DepthCam gives you an easy way to reshape the scene around you. Your subject stays in focus. Your background becomes your canvas.
