Features & Capabilities

Weird Type is an AR app that lets you paint with words in space. Type phrases, switch between multiple modes, and watch your text appear in 3D. You can record videos of your messages and share them or save them to your camera roll.

Based on a series of AR experiments by Zach Lieberman and Molmol Kuo, developed with Design Indaba. The app was designed by Richard The, with iOS help from Ying Quan Tan, Robby Kraft, and Peter Sibley, and now includes multilingual input.

Really like this app but ribbon doesn’t have options to change color. Only on default black and pink Hope you can do more update in the future.

The orientation is flipped or wrong, words overlap. It’s terrible.
