DepthWeaver vs SpatialCapture

DepthWeaver turns real-world depth into hidden-image stereograms. Capture a scene with the LiDAR scanner, generate depth from any photo with on-device AI, scan a real object with Apple's Object Capture, or load a 3D model — then watch a hidden image rise out of the noise as you cross your eyes. CAPTURE DEPTH FIVE WAYS • LiDAR live capture on iPhone Pro and iPad Pro — point, freeze, done • On-device AI depth from any photo (Depth Anything V2) • Scan real objects with Apple's Object Capture (Pro devices) — guided orbits turn a real object into a .usdz you can orbit and frame • 3D model import — .usdz, .usd, .obj, .scn with an orbit camera so you choose the angle • Bundled height map and 3D model presets to play with right away PICK A PATTERN • Six procedural generators: random dot, stars, Perlin noise, Worley noise, Voronoi cells, reaction-diffusion • Import any image from your photo library as a custom tile • Built-in texture library TUNE EVERY KNOB • DPI, depth strength, separation, oversampling • Remap input and output depth ranges to push the subject forward or back • Denoise quantized 8-bit imports for clean, banding-free output • Invert depth in one tap • Live preview redraws as you slide PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on device. No account, no upload, no tracking, no ads. Your photos and 3D scans never leave your device. UNDER THE HOOD Parallelized implementation of the Thimbleby–Inglis–Witten autostereogram algorithm with W. A. Steer's link-based hidden-surface refinement. Powered by ARKit, Object Capture, Core ML, SceneKit, Metal, and Core Image. Output is upscaled so the minimum dimension is at least 960 px — print-ready or share-ready. SHARE Export high-resolution PNGs to Photos, Messages, AirDrop, or any app with a share sheet. Available in English and French. For iPhone and iPad (iOS 18 or later) and Mac with Apple silicon (macOS 15 or later). LiDAR capture and Object Capture scans are iPhone and iPad only. Capture a scene. Pick a pattern. Stare into it.

Turn an iPhone or iPad into a camera for agents. SpatialCapture records the visual and sensor evidence that external AI tools, Blender scripts and reconstruction workflows need to understand a real scene. Make one take, then share one documented ZIP containing video, calibrated camera movement, timestamps and the sensors you selected. WORKS WITH OR WITHOUT LIDAR Every supported ARKit device records video and a calibrated camera pose for each accepted frame. A device with a LiDAR Scanner also records measured scene depth and confidence. On a standard iPhone or iPad, the same workflow produces a pose-and-sensor package without invented depth. CAPTURE • Select the physical 0.5× ultra-wide or 1× wide camera when both are available • Video with optional microphone audio • Calibrated camera positions, orientations, intrinsics and timestamps • Optional gyroscope, accelerometer, gravity and device orientation • Optional GPS coordinates, altitude, speed and accuracy when available • LiDAR scene depth, confidence and matched color references when supported EXPORT FOR AGENTS AND BLENDER Export a ZIP containing the movie, frame-by-frame JSONL metadata, sensor streams, a readable manifest, a README and a Blender Python importer. LiDAR takes also include lossless depth buffers and color reference images. Recordings remain available in the Files app. The bundled Blender importer creates an animated camera from every take. For LiDAR captures, it also creates measured surface patches. Use the package as source evidence for manual modeling or with an external reconstruction agent you choose. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, subscription, advertising or automatic upload. GPS is off by default. Everything stays on your device until you use the system share sheet. SpatialCapture has no built-in AI service and does not send recordings to a developer server. FOR BEST RESULTS The app starts with the 0.5× ultra-wide camera when ARKit supports it, giving agents more scene context in each frame. You can switch to 1× before recording. Move slowly around still subjects and capture several angles. Pose-only captures do not contain measured geometry. LiDAR can miss glass, reflections, distant surfaces and hidden areas. GPS provides approximate geographic context; it does not register the ARKit world to a map. Requires an ARKit world-tracking iPhone or iPad with iOS/iPadOS 26 or later. The recorder uses an available HD format, preferably 30 FPS. It does not record 120/240 FPS slow motion or create a finished 3D model on the device.
