Are you a fan of 3D computer graphics and augmented reality? Then let yourself be enchanted by this metaball simulation. With [AR] Blob you get a high-quality AR app with which you can play in all facets with Metaballs. Use the settings menu. Here you will find many configuration options that influence the simulation. Choose from a variety of texture types that you like best. Change parameters to see how the simulation adapts and changes. Experiment with refraction. Consider the simulation in the virtual environment of a canyon, in the green nature, in a burned-down observatory, between heaven and earth and numerous other motifs. [AR] Blob uses the Marching Cubes algorithm, which was developed in 1987 by scientists William Lorenson and Harvey Cline as part of a research project. Virtual ISO surfaces can be found, calculated and displayed in three-dimensional space. (e.g. 3D ultrasound technology) As always, this app has no in-app purchases or annoying ads so you get a nice product. We hope you enjoy this AR title.
