OBAKE
Read full descriptionHide full description
OBAKE is an experimental AR effects app. Its purpose is to explore and deliver new visual expressions using the capabilities of the LiDAR sensor. Summon AR ghosts into the world in front of you — a park, a street, a path. Capture them in photos and videos. Place one close by or far down the way ahead, then walk toward it as its voice draws near. On LiDAR-equipped models, ghosts pass behind real objects, appearing as if they were truly there with you. ■ Features ・Summon AR ghosts into real places ・Choose how far away they appear, and how long they stay ・Capture and save as photos and videos ・LiDAR-based occlusion (supported models only) ■ Requirements Available on iPhone models that support ARKit world tracking. AR effects can be enjoyed on models without a LiDAR Scanner, but occlusion behind real objects is available only on supported models.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OBAKE at none against Pixie+'s 2. OBAKE also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
