# Mixed-Reality Creation Applications 'Volu' is a New iOS App That Allows Users to Create AR Models By Colin Smith | Published 2021-11-12 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixedreality-creation-application References: [mobile-ar.reality.news](https://mobile-ar.reality.news/news/create-your-own-holograms-home-with-volu-iphone-app-0384801/) & [volograms](https://www.volograms.com/volu)  Volograms, the AR and VR content creation startup has began beta testing for 'Volu', a [mixed-reality creation application](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alo-moves-xr). This app creates [3D volumetric models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-3dmodelling) by simply recording an object or person for short while with the new [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-app-for-iphone) camera. After recording an object within the application, 'Volu' will handle the rest, from cropping out the target to generating a 3D render to use as a 'vologram' (a volumetric hologram). The 'vologram' can then be used in any video or photo, allowing users to insert themselves or an object of their choice into any scene. 'Volu' also offers a variety of filters and editing tools directly in the app, so users have a lot of freedom in how their resulting 3D 'vologram' appears. 'Volu' is fun and useful for AR developers, content creators, casual creatives, and curious consumers.
