This app converts and displays 3D Gaussian splatting into SBS, anaglyph, or other 3D images. 3D Gaussian splatting is a new scanning method that can reproduce photorealistic 3D scenes, and more and more scanning apps are becoming available on iOS. With this app, you can load a file (.ply .splat) exported from a scanning app, display it in your favorite 3D format, and enjoy 3D images from various perspectives by touch operation. In addition, with USB-C equipped iPhones/iPads, when smart glasses are connected, 3D display on the smart glasses and viewpoint control via touch operation of the connected iPhone/iPad are possible.
Lensculpt

- Local 3D asset creation
- Textured USDZ model building
- Non-destructive texture adjustments
- Multiple export formats (USDZ, OBJ, FBX)
- Manual camera controls
- LiDAR room scanning

Lensculpt turns overlapping iPhone camera views into local 3D assets. Capture rigid, textured objects from multiple distances and heights, scan a room on a supported LiDAR iPhone, or try the experimental Building Exterior workflow without a prescribed circular route. Build textured USDZ models on the device, preview their geometry in shaded or wireframe form, apply non-destructive texture and cleanup adjustments, and open the USDZ in a full-screen 3D viewer. Export completed meshes as USDZ, OBJ, or FBX, and share experimental Gaussian results as SPZ. Manual exposure, white-balance, and focus controls help keep texture captures consistent on supported cameras. On iOS 26, accepted system-managed continued-processing tasks may continue model generation while you use another app; the app clearly reports when processing must remain in the foreground. Lensculpt has no account, ads, analytics, or automatic cloud upload. Captures and models stay in the app container until you explicitly share them. Results depend on the device, lighting, subject, coverage, and available resources. Reflective, transparent, moving, flexible, and low-texture subjects may fail or produce incomplete models. Gaussian training and Building Exterior capture are experimental. Lensculpt does not claim certified measurements, exact scale, or complete unseen surfaces.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lensculpt at 5.0 against i3DGS3D's 4.0. Lensculpt also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 9 months). i3DGS3D's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
