User Reviews

I’ve personally used this tool on multiple shoots, the DPs, the directors, and actors love being able to see digital show assets at real world scale for frame of reference for acting or lining up shots. This app can handle animated assets and FBX files, and has many great features including simulating different camera film backs and lenses. It also has fancy tools with GPS and map alignment. I would say this is a critical and cost effective way of doing virtual production on set without the bloat of something like Simulcam. Highly recommended 10/10

Not even able to open. I have tired to use it on my iPhone pro 14 and iPad Pro m1. None of devices are able to open it. Will cancel my subscription.

I have had the pleasure of using this app for a while in beta and have used it on set on numerous CG heavy productions. Indispensable tool for framing up CG characters in real time. This is the real thing from real professionals.
