Let collectors see art in their space before they buy. Byrst ARt lets artists, galleries, art advisors and auction houses show collectors exactly how a work will look on their wall: at its true size, in its frame, in their own room. Before it's bought, shipped or hung. AR DOESN’T JUST PRESENT ART BEAUTIFULLY. IT SELLS IT. When collectors can see a work at its true size in their own room, they buy with confidence, and fewer works come back. ONE PHOTO. YOUR ART IN 3D. Photograph a painting, print or photograph. Byrst ARt straightens it from its corners, sets it to its exact size and makes a 3D model of it right on your iPhone or iPad. Lift a work off its background with a tap (iOS 17 or later). FRAMED THE WAY IT WILL HANG Try oak, walnut, black, white or gold-leaf frames with a real mat, built into the model itself. Settle the framing before anyone cuts a mat. SCULPTURE IN FULL 3D Walk around a sculpture or object and take 20 to 100 photos, or a video. Switch on Auto and your phone takes a photo every few seconds as you go, or let Guided Capture show you exactly how to shoot it. Byrst builds a lifelike model with its real textures. AI 3D Start from one to four photos and get a complete model in minutes. SEE IT IN THE ROOM • Hang any work on a real wall in augmented reality, at its true size. • Scene Builder: place works in a photo of a client's room, or one of Byrst's own rooms, at true scale, then share a picture or a proposal PDF with every position and size. • Share a link that opens in AR in any web browser, with no app to install, or embed your models on your own website. YOUR COLLECTION, IN ONE PLACE Every work in one library, searchable by title or artist, with its USDZ and GLB files to download. Follow each model as Byrst builds it, in the app and on your Lock Screen. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from dozens of beautiful themes, from a quiet gallery white to deep sea, twilight and lantern light. Byrst ARt is available in 20 languages.

Drillin AIR turns your camera into a window onto AI-generated reality. Point your phone at a desk, a corner, a chair — anywhere — describe what you want to see, and Drillin AIR dreams an entire scene into that spot. Hold still for a moment and the generated world fades in, anchored to the real space in front of you. Look around and it stays put, sitting in your room like it was always there. This isn't 3D stickers or face filters. The whole scene is generated by a state-of-the-art video model and stitched into a steady, gyroscope-stabilized viewport. Move gently and you can peek around the edges of the scene; move away and reality quietly returns; aim back and the scene is still waiting for you. HOW IT WORKS • Frame a spot and describe it in your own words. • Hold the camera steady for a beat while the scene is generated. • Your generated world fades in, locked to that location. • Tilt to look around inside it; step back to return to the real camera. • Save your favorite generations to a library and re-place them any time. FEATURES • Generative AR — the scene is created by AI, not modeled by hand. • Anchored scenes that stay put as you move around them. • A growing library of your past generations, reusable without re-generating. • Pane actions — turn any scene into a button that plays a generated moment. • A choice of multiple state-of-the-art image-to-video models. Drillin AIR is an evolving experiment in "reality on demand." We start on iPhone today and are building toward live, prompt-conditioned reality. Note: scenes are created by third-party generative AI. The photo you capture and the words you type are sent to our generation service to produce your scene. SUBSCRIPTIONS Drillin AIR offers optional auto-renewable monthly subscriptions. Each plan gives you a monthly allowance of AI video generations that you anchor in your real room in AR and keep in your Library. The allowance resets every month and does not roll over; longer or higher-quality clips use more of it. • Starter — $9.99 / month — about 6 AI video generations per month • Medium — $29.99 / month — about 20 AI video generations per month • Ultra — $199.99 / month — about 130 AI video generations per month Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Byrst ARt at 4.9 against AI Augmented Reality's 1.0. Byrst ARt also leads on ratings volume (35 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). AI Augmented Reality's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
