Read full description

Step into the next dimension of video. LumiAR places real people — captured in full motion, true 3D — right in your room. Walk around them. Get closer. Film them like they're really there. This is not a flat video and not a 3D cartoon: every sequence is a volumetric capture of a real performance, streamed from the 4DSCANLAB archive and rendered life-size in augmented reality. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Browse a growing catalog of volumetric captures — dancers, performers, martial artists, and more • Tap any surface to place a hologram in your space • Walk around it — every angle is real • Drag to move, twist to rotate, pinch to scale from palm-size to life-size • Natural soft shadows ground every hologram in your room • Record the moment with your voice — clips save straight to Photos, ready to share HOW IT WORKS Sequences are captured in the 4DSCANLAB volumetric studio and streamed to your device as animated 3D Gaussian splats — a point-based format that preserves lifelike detail: fabric, hair, expression, motion. Playback runs at 25 volumetric frames per second, rendered in real time in AR. GOOD TO KNOW • No account. No ads. No tracking. The app collects no personal data • Recordings stay on your device — saved to your Photos library only • Internet is needed to download sequences; everything replays instantly from the on-device cache • Requires an ARKit-capable iPhone or iPad running iOS 16 or later ABOUT LumiAR is the official mobile client of 4dscanlab.com by LumiGrade. New captures appear in the app as the archive grows.
