Tracing Projector is a modern take on Camera Lucida, an invention from more than two hundred years ago that consists of a mirror or prism which you position above a drawing surface. The mirror or prism reflects the object you would like to draw so that your eye sees the object superimposed on your drawing surface.

Several tools make it really easy to trace your image:

– Handheld Mode — On supported devices, Augmented Reality keeps your tracing image steady while you hold your device at a comfortable angle. (demo video https://youtu.be/YJeK5Sjdi1Q). Requires iOS 11.3 or later on iPhone 6s/6s Plus or iPad Pro and later. Works best on stable horizontal and vertical surfaces with good light and some visible surface detail.

– Lock the camera focus to keep the image steady while you trace.

– Lock the canvas area to keep your layout and alignment while you zoom in to get a close look at your work in progress.

– Several Filter modes enhance your image, increasing contrast to give you a better result.

– Use the flashlight to light up your drawing. (requires Full Version)

– Use the selfie camera and draw on your face. (requires Full Version)

Other features make it fun and easy to share your creations with your friends.

– Video recording in Time Lapse mode to make things smaller and faster and cooler. You can enable normal-speed and audio on the Settings screen.

– Still image capture while you draw, to capture snapshot images of your drawing in progress. (requires Full Version)

– The recorded video or snapshot includes a small thumbnail of the tracing image (with an option to turn that off).

– Your videos and snapshots are stored automatically and available to share later from within the app or iTunes file sharing.

– Sharing your videos and photos is easy with a preview screen and saved photos/videos!

– Interrupted while recording your drawing? No problem – Combine multiple videos to create a single video for sharing! Use the Edit feature on the Saved Files screen: select two movies and tap Join.

Tracing Projector is Enhanced For 3D Touch! Start right away from the camera or photo album from the home screen! Force-touch on the tracing image to peek at your progress while you draw!
