Diorama by Litho, allows you to create Jurassic Park-like films anywhere. With it, you can produce far more sophisticated animated visual effects than ever previously possible on your phone. Diorama works with the Litho AR controller.

Here is an excerpt from the CEO of Litho, Nat Martin:

“I first tried a HoloLens back in 2017, and, despite its limitations, I was blown away by the experience. It offered a magical glimpse into a #future where technology was no longer an obstacle to the real world, but a #tool to enhance and engage with it.

The biggest drawback of both the original HoloLens and early, phone-based mobile AR applications is their input method. Hand tracking is too tiring and imprecise to spend much time using, while, with a touchscreen, you often end up obscuring what you’re trying to interact with. That’s why we created Litho — an input device and UX framework designed specifically for Augmented Reality. Litho allows you to interact effortlessly with the real world unimpeded by external trackers or base stations.

We launched Litho in November 2019. Since then, we’ve shipped hundreds of Litho Developer Kits around the world and started to partner with visionary companies to build applications for it. From the launch, users were creating mobile AR demo videos virtually indistinguishable from reality; the less technical, however, were struggling with Unity, which was creating a barrier to getting them started.

So, we developed Diorama, an app we believe offers a template for the future of filmmaking and visual effects creation.

Diorama lets you easily import a curated set of 3D assets into your AR scene.

If you have an iPhone with an A12 chip or newer, #actors can also interact directly with the props in your scene through body tracking, and the app has a selection of live video filters, which help blend virtual objects with the camera feed.

Diorama is already on iOS. To use it, you will need a Litho, which you can purchase from Knoxlabs for just $99.“
