Matter Lets You Add And Edit 3D Objects In Your Photographs
[Philip Lelyveld comment: This is a great example of technology that is sufficiently advanced to be indistinguishable from magic! How does it know where the surfaces are in a digital file of an image?!?!? Watch the video at the link]
Matter, an app that allows users to add 3D effects with shadows and reflections into their existing photographs.
Matter has four packs of geometric and architectural models that you can pick a color for, and style it as reflective, opaque, refractive or translucent. You can add shadows in real time and move its position and opacity as well. You can even erase the shadow or model by clicking the tool and rubbing your finger on the parts you want to erase.
The app is $1.99 on the App Store. All of Pixite’s apps are only on iOS but Guerrette said the company is currently working on porting Fragment to Android, with possibly more to follow.
