Camera 3D AI

Features
Read full description

Camera 3D AI is an iPhone camera app that blends the vibe of a 1990s SLR with modern on‑device AI depth and true 3‑D imaging. Main features: • Camera switch – one tap toggles back ↔ front and cycles through multiple lenses (wide, ultra‑wide, tele). • Continuous zoom – slider zooms 1×–5× in real time with no preview interruption. • Focus – center autofocus. • White balance – single button sets a natural colour temperature. • Anaglyph 3‑D – the shutter grabs a colour frame plus an AI depth map; the 3‑D algorithm shifts left/right channels to generate a red‑cyan anaglyph shown full‑screen, closable with X and savable to Camera Roll. You’ll need red‑cyan glasses (e.g. Rainbow Symphony ProView) to enjoy the 3‑D effect. Parallax strength The Max Parallax setting lets you choose how strongly the left‑ and right‑eye views are separated when the app builds a red‑cyan 3‑D image. A larger value increases the depth effect, but too much separation can make pictures uncomfortable to view. Use the scrolling picker to select any even value from 10 px (subtle depth) up to 150 px (very pronounced depth); the default is 20 px. Save destination Under Save location you can decide where finished 3‑D photos are written: • Photo Library – adds the image to your Camera Roll only (default). • Documents – saves the file into the app’s Documents folder (visible in the Files app) but does not appear in Photos. • Both – writes one copy to the Photo Library and another to Documents. The app remembers your choice, so you can tailor the workflow to whether you prefer immediate sharing from Photos or manual file management in Files. All processing is on‑device – no cloud, no sign‑up, no tracking analytics. The app wants to access the camera to take 3‑D photos. Allow it by accepting “Camera 3D AI Would Like to Access the Camera – Capture photos” When you press the shutter, the app wants to save the generated 3‑D photo to your photo library. Allow it by accepting “Camera 3D AI Would Like to Add to Your Photos – Add 3‑D photos to the photo library”
