There are plenty of augmented reality apps that let you put virtual objects in a scene, but few that can also bring real-world objects to life. Thyng does all of that, and more.

Create your own scenes. With Thyng, you can create your very own augmented reality scenes using a wide variety of objects and creatures.

Bringing household objects to life. Scanning many household objects, like boxes of cereal, will trigger animations and videos superimposed on those things.

What is it about?

With Thyng, an app that's been around for quite a while in the AR niche, you get an entirely new augmented reality experience. The app now makes use of ARKit, allowing it to detect surfaces on which you can create your own virtual scene.

Why we love it

Where I think things get really fun is in Target mode. In this mode, you can scan real-world objects and bring them to life. For example, scanning a dollar bill will cause a montage of news clips to appear on top of the currency, talking about the state of the economy. Scan a box of Life cereal, and a vintage video of the kids getting Mikey to try the breakfast staple pops up. While the videos originate within the real-world object, panning the camera will pop the footage out so you can view it larger and interact with it. You can also add in Thyngs to the scene, making your own custom setting with relevant objects, people, and animals. It's a really cool way to flash back to the past or learn more about an object. When you've got your scenery and Thyngs placed, it's easy to snap a picture to use later. In fact, if you want to keep a memory of what you create, you should take a photo of it — Thyng doesn't currently have any other way to save the scene.
