? Then Zapbox could be the AR gateway gadget for tapping into 3D creativity you've been looking for. I recently paid a visit to Zappar, makers of Zapbox, a new AR device designed to turn your iPhone into a 'Vision Pro lite'. It's not VR but AR, using passthrough video, Lidar, and the tech inside an iPhone to create 3D interactive spaces in front of me, and it works really nicely.is different. The idea is a little like the old Google Cardboard.

I can jab and create strokes of paint, access menus and flip between brushes and colours, and it all feelsContact me with news and offers from other Future brandsSean sees Zapbox as a cost effective entry point for artists, game developers and anyone who needs to quickly create or demo a scene in spatial 3D.

Painting in AR is unique. I do what many new users do, and create 2D images in a 3D space - it's how we're used to creating but in AR creation is unique. I squiggle a basic tree and then realise to give it form I need to paint in and out of my viewable world, arcing strokes to form the shape of a tree canopy and branches.

Sean points out how by appropriating iPhones as the workhorse of Zapbox, the setup is tied into Apple's operating system, he says potentially you'll be able to share files inside AR to other iOS devices,"which means you can bypass your computer and therefore do a lot extra on your phone". He adds,"because it's in the same ecosystem it could have the same functionality as a $3,000 headset".
