Night Vision helps you see more when light is scarce. Switch between Night, Thermal, Infrared, Military, X‑Ray, and a LiDAR mode that builds a 3D map of the scene. Capture photos and record videos right in the app. LiDAR is not just a filter: it emits invisible infrared light and measures distance to objects, creating a depth map that works even in darkness. You understand shape and relative distance around you. Key features: - LiDAR mode (3D depth): visualize shape and distance even in very low light; requires a LiDAR‑equipped device - Night / Thermal / Infrared / X‑Ray / Military: live filters for striking night shots - Tactical Military overlay: crosshair, markers, and HUD for a cinematic tactical look - Photo and video: capture in all modes and save to your library - Quick mode switching: swipe to change modes instantly - Front and back cameras supported Use cases: - Navigate at home at night without bright lights - Understand distance and outlines in a dark garage or storage room - Camping, night walks, atmospheric videos and photos - Creative shoots with thermal/infrared/x‑ray‑style looks Important: - Not a professional night‑vision device or thermal camera; Thermal/Infrared/X‑Ray are artistic effects and do not see through objects - Total darkness: RGB modes need at least some light; LiDAR helps reveal shape and distance in low or no visible light on supported LiDAR devices - Safety: do not rely on the app for navigation or in hazardous situations Compatibility: - Works on iPhone with a camera - LiDAR mode is available on devices with a LiDAR sensor (e.g., iPhone Pro models with LiDAR and iPad Pro 2020+) Privacy Policy: https://nsdidenko.github.io/legal/2022/11/15/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
