Highlights
  • Dual-lens capture (wide + ultra-wide)
  • 4K/30 HEVC video
  • LiDAR mode with ARKit depth
  • Manual camera controls (ISO, shutter, WB, exposure)
  • COLMAP export on-device
  • Structured splatpack.json export

Gaussian SplatKing is a capture app for Gaussian splatting and radiance field reconstruction. It produces reconstruction-ready input data for any downstream pipeline and, for LiDAR captures, refines camera poses and trains a Gaussian splat on the device. Capture • Photo and video fire the 0.5x ultra-wide and 1x wide lenses simultaneously. A single-lens (1x) option, with RAW (DNG) photo capture, is available in Settings. • LiDAR mode pairs ARKit depth with the 1x wide lens, writes native COLMAP files (cameras, images, sparse points) on-device, and shows the point cloud as it accumulates. • 4K/30 HEVC video with Standard and Max Fidelity modes; optional undistorted video exports. • Auto photo cadence for walk-through capture, with a selectable interval. • Manual controls applied to both lenses: ISO, shutter speed or shutter angle, white balance, exposure, AF Lock, manual focus distance, tap-to-focus; a minimum shutter speed. • Optional capture location metadata, off by default. • iPhone and iPad. Process • Pose refinement: after a LiDAR capture, camera poses are refined on-device (feature matching and bundle adjustment) and recorded in the export. Free for everyone. • Train Splat (SplatKing Pro): train a Gaussian splat from a refined LiDAR capture on the device. No upload, no account. Output is an .spz file with an in-app viewer. Export • Every capture is a zip with media, metadata, COLMAP files where applicable, and splatpack.json, shared through the Files app or the share sheet to any pipeline. • Session quality summaries and per-file quality flags. SplatKing Pro is a one-time purchase that adds focus peaking, an RGB histogram, capture presets, the capture-interval selector, and on-device training. Everything that is free today stays free, and Pro never changes free capture quality. Analytics are anonymous and, in regions that require consent, off unless you opt in. Capture content never leaves the device unless you share it.

Turn real products into shareable 3D models - all on your device. Aevi Capture makes it simple to create detailed 3D models of physical objects using a compatible iPhone or iPad. Follow the guided capture as you move around an object. Aevi helps you cover it from different angles, then reconstructs the finished 3D model directly on your device - without uploading your capture to the cloud.
 Capture. Explore. Keep. Share. Inspect finished models from every angle - rotate, zoom, and explore the details. See them in your space with Apple Quick Look and AR. Keep your scans organized in a local library and group related models into collections. When your 3D model is ready, easily share it with AirDrop, Messages, Mail, Files, or other compatible apps. Private by design Your 3D capture workflow stays on your device: • No account or sign-in • No cloud upload
 • No advertising or cross-app tracking
 • No third-party analytics
 • On-device 3D reconstruction Aevi also checks available storage before capture and reconstruction, and interrupted captures can be recovered. Device compatibility Aevi Capture requires a compatible LiDAR-equipped iPhone or iPad, such as iPhone 12 Pro or later Pro models, or iPad Pro models from 2021 or later. Aevi checks compatibility before starting a scan.
