For this reason, if you want to learn to take 3D photos with your smartphone’s camera, it is always possible. And don’t worry, because the steps to achieve it are not as complicated as you might have imagined at first. The reality is that it is so simple that it will only take a few minutes. The main thing at all times will be to use the right tools, the rest will be ‘suck’.
What you need
From our terminal, for now we do not have a native tool that allows us to do so, but we do find a significant number of applications that will allow us to take 3D photographs. So it will be easy to find the option that fits what we were looking for. Although, not all of them will be good alternatives, so we will recommend the ones that we liked the most so that you can try them on your phone.
And, in this case, we will not only bring you Android apps, but we will also offer you some options that will also be available in the App Store. All of them totally free. Once we see them, we will know what the tricks are to be able to take 3D photos with the mobile camera.
V image
This is one of the apps that users most prefer to take photos in this format to put 2D aside, since it is one of the most intuitive tools that we can find in the Android or iPhone stores. And it is that to achieve a three-dimensional capture it has a powerful 3D photo viewer in real time.
This tool us lets create an illusion parallax effect with which it seems that the image that we had taken with the smartphone is completely in 3D.
pop pic
This app is only available for iPhones, but without a doubt, it is one of the best options so that we can create 3D photos with Apple terminals. In addition, this app allows us as users to play with depth in different ways, such as simply being able to adjust the background blur and even from a single lens device.
This tool is simple to use like any other camera app. So we only have to tap on the shutter to take an image and wait for the application to process it into a 3D snapshot.
Phogy
If in the previous case, that app was only available for Apple phones, this time we bring you an application that is exclusive to Android phones. When we download Phogy, what we have to do is take a photo and move the terminal. This tool will allow us to share our 3d images with whoever we want or convert them directly into animated GIFs so that they don’t become 2D when we save them in the gallery of our device.
Vizo360
Although its name is more related to the fact that we can take 360-degree photos, this is an app that we can also use to take 3D images. And for the result to be better, the optimal thing will be to have a good smartphone lens and make a small movement.
loopsie
This is a tool, which is available on both iPhone and Androidwhich will help us take 3D photos with the camera of our mobile. It is even capable of mixing 2D photos with video, in order to create an animation with depth of field. It even has an integrated camera with which we can take photos and video in FHD resolution. So it will not be very difficult to know how it works. In addition, once we enter the application, it will make us a small tutorial in which it will indicate the steps that we must follow at all times.
How to do them
If we have different rear lenses, it is clear that the result will be much better, although it will also depend on the artificial intelligence (AI) of our Android or iOS device. In any case, with these apps we will be able to achieve a decent result if we follow the instructions that they will give us at all times.
In any case, the most important thing will be to keep a firm hand when it comes to take 3D snapshots and that, at all times, we are between 40 centimeters and 3 meters about what we are going to photograph. And not only this, but the lighting will be key so that the photograph does not come out blurry.
In addition, we recommend that, to help the application to obtain better results, it is better that we take the photos on a plain background. In this way, the AI will have an easier time completing the processing and achieving our goal: taking 3D photos with the mobile camera.
What is clear is that 3D will not be interesting if there is no depth of field in the image. Although, in no case should the background be cluttered. And, as a last recommendation, we already warned you that a good angle will make a difference at all times. So you must find the most suitable to take a type of image.
What do I do now?
Although with the applications that we have just recommended we can achieve take 3D photos, it is possible that these files are not compatible with the operating system of our terminal. Therefore, if you save them in the gallery of your camera, surely you can only view said capture in 2D, that is, totally flat.
Therefore, it is a good option that we decide to directly share said image through one of the social networks that support this format, as is the case with Facebook. Or, alternatively, we can make it become a GIF so that it keeps its 3D format intact. However, we also recommend you save the image in the Gallery of your Android or iPhone to check if you see it well or in 2D.
