A flat screen showing a recessed box that appears to sink into the wall behind it

Turn any flat
screen into 3D

Examples

The end result

  • A tall display hanging in a warehouse aisle. A runner appears to leap out of a blue recess sunk into the screen, above the word RUN.
  • A display mounted on a pillar in a shop. A man sits on the lower edge of a recess in the screen with his legs hanging out over it, under the words PRICE DROP.
  • A large screen on the corner of an office building. A cat leans out of the screen with one paw over the frame, under the words APP COMING SOON.

Why

The reasons

  • Your screen is already there.

    Storefront, lobby, meeting room, info display. You paid for it. Right now it's showing something flat, isn't it?

  • It takes a few clicks, not a few weeks.

    Photograph your screen. Mark four corners. Design. Export. That's the whole thing.

  • No 3D skills needed.

    We tried to make it as simple as possible. How did we do?

  • It runs in your browser.

    Nothing to install. Renders in real time.

  • People stop and look.

    That's the entire point of the format. It works on your screen too.

  • An agency would charge you four figures for a single asset.

    You'd wait a week for the first draft, too.

How it works

Photograph, then Calibrate, then Design, then Export

  1. Photograph

    Take a photo from where your audience stands.

  2. Calibrate

    Click the four corners of the screen.

  3. Design

    Design the content.

  4. Export

    Export a PNG and put it on the display.

No photo? Safe mode works from your screen dimensions.

Quick Answers

Is this AI?
No. You choose everything. The app handles the perspective math. No AI involved in the process. Not gonna lie, we used AI in the development work. But for a user like you, absolutely no AI in the loop.

Mobile?
Desktop only. You need a mouse to calibrate the image accurately and to navigate in the 3D space.
Any screen?
If you can photograph it, it works. The illusion is based on naked-eye 3D, anamorphic, trompe l'oeil. Whatever you want to call it. The technique is centuries old.
Any viewing angle?
No. The illusion resolves from the spot you photographed from. That's how the format works. If you want to play it safe, you can use the front-facing angle, without a photo reference.
Still images only?
On purpose. One image, one export. It's why you can learn this in a single sitting. Animation, keyframes and all that stuff complicate things. But it is on the roadmap.

Your screen is already on. Give it something worth looking at.
