The app, which is available for [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-reality-educational-app), comes loaded with various images that users can manipulate in a whole variety of ways to create very [unique designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-and-design-miami). What I particularly like about the 123d Sculpt app is the level of depth and complexity involve for a product that runs on the iPad. The final results can be exported to a variety of locations. The 123d Sculpt app is currently available for free in the iTunes store. **Implications** - Tablets are innovative pieces of technology that have captured the imagination of consumers.
