MathShapesAR vs Geometry Visualization

Scan the marker images to view mathematical shapes through the screen in augmented reality! Pick up and move the markers to see the models from all angles, or move your device to change views. Shapes displayed are the Platonic solids and their dual polyhedra. Download and print markers from: https://www.bblabs.tech/MathShapesAR/

Understand 3D Orientation. See It in Real Time. This app is a hands-on visualization tool designed for developers working with SceneKit. It helps you clearly understand how pitch, yaw, and roll interact — and how material order affects rendering on standard 3D geometries. Whether you're learning 3D graphics, debugging orientation issues, or experimenting with material stacks, this app provides a clean, interactive environment for exploration. Explore 3D Orientation • Adjust pitch, yaw, and roll independently • Observe how rotation order affects final orientation • See real-time updates as values change • Build intuition for 3D transform behavior Standard SceneKit Geometries; Visualize common primitives such as: • Box • Sphere • Cylinder • Cone • Capsule • Plane • Other standard SceneKit shapes Understand Material Application • Explore how materials are applied to geometry elements • See how material order impacts rendering • Experiment with multi-material configurations • Better understand SceneKit’s material indexing Built for Developers • Ideal for iOS and macOS developers working with SceneKit • Great companion tool for learning 3D math concepts • Useful for debugging transform and rendering behavior • Clean, distraction-free interface focused on learning If you work with SceneKit, 3D transforms, AR, or graphics programming, this app helps you see what the math is doing.
