Beeble Camera is a free iOS app designed to empower filmmakers, content creators, and VFX enthusiasts with studio-quality tools using just an iPhone. Built on Apple’s LiDAR and ARKit, it accurately tracks device position and depth in real-time during recording. The footage is then anchored to real-world space for precise visual alignment.
After recording, creators upload their footage to the Beeble Web Platform, where AI-driven processes automatically generate camera-tracked, rotoscoped, and relightable VFX passes.
Beeble CEO Hoon Kim explains:
“Making AI technology accessible is one of our biggest goals. Enabling anyone to capture footage with their phone and generate VFX passes is a breakthrough for indie creators and teams working on previs. At the same time, we’re scaling for studios—our next major update will deliver a local version of Beeble.”
