Spatial paint strokes
Spray, marker, roller, brush, ink, chalk, neon, line, and airbrush tools create different visual characters.
Edition B · AR camera for artists
A camera that becomes a studio.
Paint in space. Capture the process. Turn physical artworks into entrances to larger digital works.

The creative workspace stays camera-fast. Add a real screen recording to media/preview.mp4 when available.
Not only a flat image
It’s time for a camera built for augmented reality.
Most camera apps are still mainly designed to capture flat photos and videos. Kamera is designed for a time in which the camera can understand space, surfaces, artworks, rooms, and movement.
It is not AR as a novelty filter. It is AR as a serious artistic medium: a way to create, document, edit, and present work from the same camera.
A focused workspace inside the same camera
Artist Mode reveals the tools when they are useful.
Kamera contains many functions for different people. Artist Mode keeps the interface understandable while enabling the creative layer: AR painting, artwork projects, image targets, editing, and capture.

Focused creative workspace
Activate the functions that belong together for your process.
Optional, not a separate app
Stay inside the same camera and return to a simpler view whenever you want.
Adapt the camera
Settings and toggles let the workflow follow the user instead of forcing one interface on everyone.
1 · Paint directly in space
Turn the surrounding space into a creative surface.
Open the camera, enter Artist Mode, scan or recognise the surrounding surfaces, choose a brush, and paint directly into the live environment.
- Open the cameraStart with the familiar capture view.
- Enter Artist ModeShow the creative tools only when you need them.
- Paint the roomWork on walls, around objects, through architecture, or across an installation.
- Capture immediatelyKeep the result as a photo, video, timelapse, or panorama.

2 · Creative AR brush system
Brushes that behave differently in space.
The AR painting engine includes real tool families for different marks, materials, and gestures. The list can evolve with the app, but the workflow stays direct and camera-like.
Effects and texture
Wet gloss, drips, colour mixing, stamps, swirl, smudge, lasso, and surface-aware effects change how a stroke behaves.
Room-scale gestures
Extend strokes through the room, around objects, and beyond the dimensions of one physical artwork.
Texture Brush
Use the live camera image as the material source. Paint the room with the room itself.

TEXTURE BRUSH
3 · Texture Brush
The environment becomes the material.
The Texture Brush uses the live camera image as its texture source. Point at the world, then paint into the surrounding space. The visible surfaces, colours, and structures become part of the stroke.
This is not simply choosing a photo texture from a library. The camera view itself provides the texture, so the stroke can sample, repeat, move, or remap the real surroundings.
Paint the room with the room itself.Discuss Texture Brush in Camera Lab →4 · Live Camera Colour Picker
Sample a colour without leaving the flow.
Point the camera at any visible colour, pick it directly, and continue painting. The same principle can work with existing photos and visible editing content where supported.

5 · Save and reload AR work
Make AR work practical, not disposable.
Save spatial strokes, arrangements, and image-target projects so you can continue a work, revisit an installation, test variations, or present a prepared setup later. No cloud synchronisation is promised here; the focus is reusable work inside the app.

6 · Artwork-aware photo library
A photo library that recognises your work.
Photograph one of your artworks and identify it as an artwork. When you photograph the same work again, Kamera can recognise it and associate documentation around it automatically.
Progress images, detail shots, installation views, exhibition images, and later recordings can form a clearer history around each piece instead of becoming unrelated camera-roll files. Recognition is a smarter organisational layer, not an infallible promise.
7 · Artwork as an image target
Let the artwork continue beyond its frame.
Use your own artwork as an image target, then attach a timelapse, video, digital painting layers, AR strokes, or spatial elements positioned around and in front of the physical work.
The canvas becomes an entrance to a larger digital artwork.

The process becomes part of the work.
Exhibitions can reveal how a piece developed while visitors look at the finished result. Documentation becomes spatial, and the physical and digital versions remain connected.
9 · Custom image-target editor
Build the layers around the recognised image.
The editor is intended for video layers, painting layers, AR strokes, visual extensions, and spatial elements larger than the physical artwork.
Roadmap: a fuller 3D editor, higher-resolution projects, AI-assisted 3D generation, richer spatial compositions, and professional exhibition setups are future directions—not finished features.

10–13 · Capture the entire creative process
Make the making shareable.
The same camera used to create the AR work can immediately document it. Creation and capture happen in one place.
AR Timelapse
Start recording, paint through a room or kitchen, stop, and review the complete spatial painting process.
AR Panorama
Document room-scale painting, installations across several walls, and work too wide for one normal frame.
Photo and video
Capture the AR creation as a still or normal video without rebuilding the work afterwards.
Process documentation
Keep the development of an installation as a shareable artwork, not only the finished image.

14 · Realtime censorship
Protect people while documenting the work.
Through settings or a privacy-related mode, faces can be censored directly in the camera view using pixelation or black bars. The tools work with front and rear cameras.
Use them when photographing public spaces, documenting exhibitions, recording installation processes, protecting visitors and collaborators, or creating a deliberate visual censorship aesthetic.
15–16 · Keep working after capture
The captured image remains a creative surface.
Photo editing
Redraw or paint directly on the image, use detailed creative tools, and pick colours from the photo instead of leaving the visual workflow.
Video editing
Trim, crop where available, change playback speed, speed up, slow down, reverse, and stitch multiple clips together for a usable short edit.

18 · Built with creative users
No single developer can predict every way artists will use a camera.
Artists, photographers, video makers, galleries, and exhibition teams can rate existing features, request missing tools, discuss workflows, and help shape the roadmap. Suggestions are collected, discussed, rated, and considered—not automatically promised.
