They should create an iPad (and/or iPhone) app which shows the painting in “3D” by adjusting the 2D image according the viewing angle tracked by faceID cam
This example trekhleb.dev/blog/2021/gyro-web/ demonstrate how a 3D view can be orientated by tilting your phone. It is implemented using web technology.
It uses the device gyroscope to detect rotation and tilting. This is frequently used in map / street view. No faceID or depth camera is required.
Lol, using this, you have to always look straight to the phone and rotating it. This is bat user experience compared to the faceID solution, where you can move your head and the phone freely

Android powers over 70% of smartphones. If they were to make an app wouldn’t it be more efficient (cost v exposure) to make an android app? The website though works on all phones.

And you wouldn’t really need faceId or any other depth aware camera for this. Just a normal front-facing camera will do. Or do accelerometer only and tilt the phone instead

Maybe nowadays with the powerful phone processors, you don’t need depth aware cameras anymore for this. But I can remember, that, at the time faceID was introduced, there was faceID (or two normal cameras) needed to do this on phone.

I guess if you look at targeted people who may be interested in this app you are nearly at 80% using iPhones. Most of the 70% using android are from developing countries and l bet most of those user aren’t that interested in art like this 💁🏻♀️

poor people can’t enjoy art now? what you’re proposing is artificially creating an economic barrier to access art just because you consider that people who are born in developing countries aren’t interested in art.
also, there are a tons of people who buy android phones even if they can afford an iPhone because Apple’s devices are a golden jail.

Sure, I have the same opinion, but I still think most app user would have iOS if such app would exist right now on both platforms.
