Create stunning 3D stereoscopic photos and experience photography in a whole new dimension. DESCRIPTION Discover the magic of stereoscopic photography and video with Scopi - the ultimate app for capturing and viewing your memories in 3D. Transform your photography experience by preserving moments with all the depth and personality they have in real life. Each shot captures depth the way your eyes naturally see it. Intelligent processing automatically aligns and optimizes every image, delivering photography that’s not just seen, it’s experienced. Whether you're a stereoscopic enthusiast or new to the format, Scopi's intelligent alignment algorithm makes 3D photography easy and accessible. No extra hardware or complicated camera rigs needed. On supported phones, Scopi can harness dual cameras to take instantaneous 3D photos. Alternatively, it can use depth synthesis to create a second view from a single photo. Multiple viewing modes allow you to capture, create, and share stunning stereoscopic images, bringing your photography to life. CAPTURE MODES • Manual Mode - Perfect your stereo technique with guided capture. See a ghost overlay of your first shot while taking the second as a frame of reference, and then let Scopi's alignment algorithm do the rest. • Instant Mode - Capture a 3D photo with one press. Scopi uses two rear cameras on supported phones or can alternatively use Depth Synthesis to create a second view from one photo. • Video Mode - Record video with true depth. Capture moments in motion that come alive in VR or any of Scopi's stereo viewing modes. VIEW MODES • Parallel View - Traditional stereo viewing with a left-right alignment • Cross-Eyed View - Glasses-free 3D with a right-left alignment • Anaglyph - View in red/cyan 3D with classic anaglyph glasses • Wigglegram - Animated 3D effect that alternates between left and right images • Tilt View - Tilt your phone to look around a depth-aware photo without glasses • VR Devices - Scopi enables immersive viewing options for Apple Vision Pro and other headsets STEREO EDITOR • Auto-Align - One tap to automatically align your stereo pair • Manual Alignment - Precisely position images for perfect 3D • Zoom & Crop - Frame the perfect shot • Swap - Quickly swap left and right perspectives • Non-Destructive - For photos in FSBS format, your original is always preserved FEATURES • Automatic image alignment, and stitching • Bring your own photos to create stereoscopic pairs • Turn an existing 2D photo into a 3D image • Export and share in multiple stereoscopic formats • Custom 3D photo gallery • Private, on-device photo processing • Beautiful, intuitive interface designed for iOS COMPATIBILITY Video mode requires iPhone 15 Pro or later.

Depth Area Cam

Depth Area Cam Explore the World in Depth. Literally. Depth Area Cam transforms your iPhone or iPad into a powerful real-time depth visualization tool. Using the device’s LiDAR scanner and depth sensors, this app reveals the hidden distance layers of your environment — perfect for creators, developers, or anyone curious about spatial perception. Key-Features: Real-Time Depth Visualization Visualize the world using vibrant depth-based color gradients. Near objects are shown in cool blues, far objects in warm reds — or invert this spectrum at the tap of a switch. Grayscale Depth Mode Prefer minimalism? Use the grayscale mode for a clean black-to-white depth representation. Near objects are light, distant areas are dark — switch the gradient direction as needed. High Dynamic Range Video Recording Record depth videos in HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), PQ (Perceptual Quantizer), Linear, or Standard Dynamic Range (SDR). Use the home screen quick actions to choose your recording mode before launching the app or anytime during usage. High-Quality Snapshots Capture lossless depth screenshots directly to your Photo Library—without UI overlays or compression artifacts. Perfect for saving your best visualizations. Adjustable Depth Range Customize the depth threshold dynamically with the smart slider. Focus on near details or capture the full scene, up to 20 meters. Color Inversion & Customization Easily invert color mappings or switch between visualization modes in real-time. No need to restart recording or exit the app. Intuitive Interface All controls are live-adjustable while running. Adjust sliders, toggle options, or take snapshots without interrupting your session. Why Depth Area Cam? - Visualize depth like never before - Create creative AR content - Test and prototype LiDAR-based ideas - Record stunning HDR depth videos for post-processing - Capture scientific or educational visuals Requirements: Depth Area Cam requires a LiDAR-equipped iPhone or iPad (e.g., iPhone Pro models or iPad Pro). On devices without LiDAR, a camera-only mode is available.

Verdict
