DriftEye
Read full descriptionHide full description
AR paper planes, cranes, and paper boats — right beside you, always ready to be captured. Imagine walking through a park when a paper plane glides silently past you. You raise your phone, and there it is — hovering over the real grass, against the real sky. Or picture sitting in a café, letting a paper crane perch at the edge of your table, pressing record to capture a moment only you can see. Open DriftEye, and AR origami instantly appears in the real space around you. No markers, no setup — they're just there, waiting for you to walk through them, waiting for you to shoot. [Three AR styles, switch anytime] Paper Plane: drifting freely through your real-world space. Paper Crane: flapping gracefully through your surroundings. Paper Boat: floating quietly through the air around you. Tap a button to switch between them anytime. [Face Mode] Switch to front camera and DriftEye detects your face — a paper plane, crane, or boat flies over to hover in front of you. More faces, more origami. A new way to shoot portraits with AR. [Shake to Release] Give your phone a shake and watch everything fall — planes, cranes, and boats drifting gently downward before finding their way back into the air. [Photo & Video, instantly] Tap the shutter to capture the moment. Tap record to start filming. Touch anywhere on screen to stop. Preview your clip right away — save it to your camera roll or delete it. Your call. [A new kind of AR camera experience] DriftEye anchors origami into real 3D space using augmented reality. As you move, they drift. Every photo and every video carries real depth and presence — not a sticker, not a filter, but AR origami that are truly there. [Simple. Clean. Pure.] Open and shoot — no setup, no account No ads to interrupt your creative flow Minimal UI — the lens is all that matters Use DriftEye to capture the world with something floating in it — every frame, a scene that's entirely yours.
