NTRX Cam is an experimental camera with 160+ real-time effects — not filters, but living visual systems rendered live in the viewfinder. Point the camera and watch the world transform: matrix rain, thermal vision, x-ray looks, glitch and datamosh, prism distortions, pixel worlds, retro screens, and depth-driven 3D geometry that reacts to the space around you. What you see is what you shoot — no editing, no post-production. Create your way: – Shoot video and photos through 160+ live effects – Explore visual worlds: Matrix, Glitch, Thermal, VHS, Pixel Art, X-Ray, Cinematic, and more – Effects react to depth, faces, hands, motion, and sound – Adjust every effect with simple sliders in real time TRUE 3D DEPTH Effects in the Depth and Cyber categories use the LiDAR sensor to see the world in 3D: particles, glyphs, scanner lines, and point clouds that react to distance and shape. LiDAR effects require an iPhone Pro model. RECORD AND SHARE Record clips or capture photos with any effect. Your clips live in the in-app Library — save to Photos or share only when you want to. NTRX PRO All effects can be previewed live for free. NTRX Pro unlocks recording and photo export for the full set. Subscriptions: monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
