Introducing Reality Construction Kit!
Reality Construction Kit is a new generation of insanely realistic physical AR you can create yourself.
Build structures and even assemble working contraptions embedded in your real space.
Every Reality Faucet customer is automatically upgraded to Reality Construction Kit, v 3.0, with any items they've already purchased.
Items and In-App Purchases:
Soccer Ball, Box and Bubbles are built in.
8 In-App Items are now available:
• Track — for building courses and structures into your space
• Darts — stick into real and virtual objects, walls, ceilings or real dart boards
• Balls — basketballs, footballs, volleyballs, and bowling balls
• Dominos — line them up and knock them down
• Baseball Bat — reach in and nudge or swing at virtual objects
• Basketball Hoop — toss an object in and hear it score
• Crate — open at one end: stack ‘em, tack ‘em, fill ‘em, spill ‘em …
• Plank — tack these into your space to perfect a Track course
The Tack feature lets you mount virtual structures onto real objects and surfaces - and even onto mid air. Roll balls down a Track you've Tacked across your real furniture. Build a course that sends realistic balls around your room or any space. Fill Crates with balls, bats, bubbles and more - and knock them over. To shoot hoops, Tack up a Basketball Hoop or fling one against a wall. Darts stick into furniture, objects, ceilings - or real dart boards.
Tack vs Toss selector allows easy building and play.
Tracks, Planks and Basketball Hoops are Tacked into your space by default.
Balls and most items are dynamically Tossed by default.
Darts and Basketball Hoops tossed into the scene 'Stick the Landing", attaching to real or virtual objects.
Undo and Undo Tack buttons let you delete recent items and try again, until your scene, course or contraption is just how you want it.
Updated Help, Dark and Light mode support, Item Lists for easy selection, updated app name and icon.

Reality Faucet 2 — What’s New
Reality Faucet lets you play with a wide range of physically realistic 3D objects into your real world - through the magic of Kinetic Augmented Reality, and the LiDAR technology on the latest iPhone Pro and iPad Pro models. It introduces a breathtaking new generation of physical AR so real you even do experiments and build things.
Reality Store:
Reality Faucet includes a Reality Store with free and paid in-app purchases, already offering a range of realistic objects: sports balls, cardboard boxes, wooden planks and bats, water droplets, dominos and bowling balls. Each has its own realistic physical properties like friction, density and bounciness, with most available in multiple sizes. They all interact realistically with your space and with each other!
Tools panel:
The Tools panel lets you pick which an object (with orientation and size) that will emerge from the faucet when you tap the Fire button. Stroke the list vertically to change the current tool. If it’s locked, you can’t use it yet. Tap Unlock or View to see it in the Reality Store.
Fire button:
Tap the big blue Fire button to create a new object and throw/spray it from the faucet. Control its speed by tapping near the hare (fast and far) or the tortoise (slow or drop it vertically). A Long Press begins a continuous stream of objects such as bubbles. Tap to end the stream.
Hold button:
The purple Hold button lets you hold an object before releasing it, so you can carefully tip and aim the faucet, carry the object, or push other objects with before you Fire or drop it into the scene.
Trash and Help buttons:
The Trash button at the lower left clears the scene in case things get cluttered.
The Help button beside it provides details on how to use the app.
Faucet and Bubbles:
The faucet itself is now gorgeous, shiny, transparent glass. It doesn’t obstruct your view, and if you look carefully you’ll even see the objects flowing through it!
Bubbles are available in two size ranges, and they pop if you hit them hard enough.
Light and Dark display modes are supported.

(Reality Faucet 1.9.12 is a preview of upcoming version 2, described below.)

It introduces a breathtaking new generation of physical AR so real you even do experiments and build things.
LiDAR sees the shape of your room, furniture and environment so the virtual objects can seamlessly inhabit your space — realistically colliding, bouncing, rolling across surfaces, and disappearing behind real objects. LiDAR is built into every 2020 and 2021 iPhone Pro and iPad Pro device.
Reality Faucet free and paid in-app purchases already include a range of realistic objects: sports balls, cardboard boxes, wooden planks and bats, water droplets, dominos and bowling balls - that interact realistically with your space and with each other! As virtual objects careen through your environment, uncanny physics, highly directional 3D sound and realistic lighting cement the illusion. It's magic.
