About this app

Thyng brings the world around you to life by allowing you to create your own Augmented Reality scenes and share them with the world! Thyng 5.0 combines the power of Augmented Reality and Social Media by allowing you to share your Augmented Reality scenes – and when you do, anyone who follows you will automatically see your Augmented Reality scenes appear in the world around them. You can easily build your own shared Augmented Reality experiences by adding 3D Objects, adding your own photos, and even adding your own videos. In this way, the real world becomes an amazing canvas for creating and sharing 3D Augmented Reality experiences with your friends!

Version 5.0 of the Thyng app allows you to save and share your Augmented Reality scenes with friends in four amazing ways:
(1) You can save and share all of your 3D AR objects by simply adding objects to your scene, then tap on the Cloud Share button in the lower right to share your objects – anyone who follows you will automatically see your shared 3D AR objects appear in the world around them! Also those shared objects will be saved so that the next time you enter your AR scene those objects will automatically re-appear.
(2) You can share links to your AR Scenes on social media by tapping on the Cloud Share button in the lower right and selecting Create Link, this creates a link that you can share anywhere (including email, text, and social media) that will allow your friends to tap on that link and view your shared 3D AR objects in their world around them.
(3) You can take videos of your AR Scenes and share those videos on ThyngTV and other social media platforms for everyone to see.
(4) You can follow other Thyng users and see their shared 3D AR objects appear in the world around you!

Thyng 5.0 is the fifth generation of the groundbreaking Thyng Augmented Reality app. With Thyng 5.0 you can experience amazing Augmented Reality in multiple ways – including Environment-based AR where objects appear in the Environment around you, and also Target-based AR where experiences can appear on specific Targets. With Thyng Environments Mode, powered by ARCore, you can create your own incredible Augmented Reality experiences in the Environment around you and share them with the world. With Thyng Targets Mode (activated by tapping the “Targets Mode” button in the upper left of the home screen), any product, logo, or sign can come to life with a specific Augmented Reality experience displayed directly on the product itself, including marketing messages, recipes, coupons, and even “Buy Now” buttons. Download the Thyng app to experience Augmented Reality like you’ve never seen it before!
