Depth Area Cam Explore the World in Depth. Literally. Depth Area Cam transforms your iPhone or iPad into a powerful real-time depth visualization tool. Using the device’s LiDAR scanner and depth sensors, this app reveals the hidden distance layers of your environment β€” perfect for creators, developers, or anyone curious about spatial perception. Key-Features: Real-Time Depth Visualization Visualize the world using vibrant depth-based color gradients. Near objects are shown in cool blues, far objects in warm reds β€” or invert this spectrum at the tap of a switch. Grayscale Depth Mode Prefer minimalism? Use the grayscale mode for a clean black-to-white depth representation. Near objects are light, distant areas are dark β€” switch the gradient direction as needed. High Dynamic Range Video Recording Record depth videos in HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), PQ (Perceptual Quantizer), Linear, or Standard Dynamic Range (SDR). Use the home screen quick actions to choose your recording mode before launching the app or anytime during usage. High-Quality Snapshots Capture lossless depth screenshots directly to your Photo Libraryβ€”without UI overlays or compression artifacts. Perfect for saving your best visualizations. Adjustable Depth Range Customize the depth threshold dynamically with the smart slider. Focus on near details or capture the full scene, up to 20 meters. Color Inversion & Customization Easily invert color mappings or switch between visualization modes in real-time. No need to restart recording or exit the app. Intuitive Interface All controls are live-adjustable while running. Adjust sliders, toggle options, or take snapshots without interrupting your session. Why Depth Area Cam? - Visualize depth like never before - Create creative AR content - Test and prototype LiDAR-based ideas - Record stunning HDR depth videos for post-processing - Capture scientific or educational visuals Requirements: Depth Area Cam requires a LiDAR-equipped iPhone or iPad (e.g., iPhone Pro models or iPad Pro). On devices without LiDAR, a camera-only mode is available.
