The camera app “VCam Camera” for iPhone and iPad is now available on the App Store. It’s a new release from the developers of the Mac-based VTuber app VCam.
You can load VRM files, a 3D avatar file format, and take photos and videos using that avatar. When you smile or move your hands towards the camera, the avatar will reflect those movements like a mirror. Both VRM 0.x and 1.0 are supported. You can add models from the Files app or AirDrop, or directly select models from VRoid Hub. If you don’t have a 3D model, you can use a single illustration instead. The selected image will be automatically cropped and will follow your facial movements.
There are three ways to take photos. The front camera allows you to take selfies where your avatar takes your place. The person in the background is automatically hidden. When using the rear camera, the rear camera captures the scenery in front of you while the front camera tracks your facial expressions and hands. With the AR camera, you can place your avatar in real space and take photos from any angle while walking around. Shadows are cast on the floor, and it’s even possible to make the avatar appear behind people. If your device is equipped with LiDAR, a sensor that measures depth using light, you can hide your avatar behind objects.
It also includes a full range of finishing features. These include camera styles such as CCD, Film, and Y2K, poses, expressions, and motions that can be switched with a single tap, accessories such as glasses and caps, and lighting adjustments. In addition to these, it also supports importing your own materials. Poses can be imported in VRMA format, and accessories in GLB and FBX formats.
The app is basically free. Some features are unlocked with the paid VCam Camera Pro subscription. You can choose from three payment options: monthly, annual, or one-time purchase. The supported environment is iOS 26/iPadOS 26 or later.
