About

3D AR Model Viewer

Features
Read full description

See any 3D model in your room at its real size: a sofa before you buy it, a bike, a statue, the file a friend sent. Open it, place it with AR, walk around it. SEE IT IN YOUR ROOM Inspect a model in 3D, then place it with Apple's AR Quick Look. Use known dimensions or set the size yourself. Record an AR video and share it. SEARCH AND EXPLORE Find furniture, animals, characters, vehicles, architecture and more in a community model catalog. Catalog models show their author and license. OPEN YOUR OWN FILES Import USDZ, Reality, GLB and glTF files. For glTF models with separate textures or data, open the ZIP containing those files. GLB and glTF files are prepared on your device for viewing and AR. Keep downloaded and imported models in your library. CREATE FROM A PHOTO OR TEXT Describe an object or choose a photo to generate a 3D model. Try a style and inspect the result. Your completed model is saved in your library. AI results vary with the input. EXPORT AND SHARE Share the model file already on your device for free. Models generated with AI can also be converted to GLB, USDZ, STL, OBJ and other 3D printing formats. New conversions use the allowance shown in the app, then one credit each. Previously saved conversions are yours to reuse. Choose a height for STL exports. Check generated files in your usual tools before printing. WHAT IS FREE Catalog browsing, supported local file imports, 3D viewing, AR placement and your on-device library are free. No account is required. AR requires a compatible device. AI generation uses credits. Buy a small pack when you want to create more; no subscription is required. Purchased pack credits do not expire. Your App Store price is shown before purchase. OPTIONAL PRO Pro Monthly includes 30 generation credits per month, watermark-free AR recordings and priority support. Unused monthly credits reset; purchased pack credits stay available. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Pro Monthly is an auto-renewing monthly subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Renewal is charged within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in Apple Account settings. A room preview does not replace a tape measure. Model licenses still apply to how you use and share downloaded content. Model catalog powered by the Sketchfab community. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy policy: https://thomasgorisse.github.io/arcamera/privacy/
