Da Vinci Eye: AR Trace & Draw

Da Vinci Eye overlays an image and physical drawing surface through the camera for tracing and proportion study.

Our take

Consider after checking AR requirements and a stable phone mount

Value layers can help separate shadows and highlights.

Keep in mind: It is an on-screen overlay rather than a physical light projector; AR needs supported A10X/A11-or-newer hardware, and learning gains are not guaranteed.

What you can do

  • Use value layers or drawing lessons
  • Record eligible time-lapses and share artwork

Good for
