Description
A live camera for water. Hold your phone above the surface and DepthGaze cuts glare, restores the colour water swallows, and lifts contrast — every frame, on-device. Free to start; Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription. Not a depth gauge. iOS and Android.

Could you build this?
Partial Real-time, on-device underwater color restoration and glare reduction requires custom GPU shaders (Metal/Vulkan) and specialized computer vision algorithms to run smoothly at 30-60 FPS without overheating the phone.
What it would actually take: A production version requires low-level graphics/compute pipelines (Metal on iOS, RenderScript/Vulkan on Android) implementing underwater optical physical models (e.g., Sea-thru principles or dark channel prior adaptations) or an optimized CoreML/TFLite model. Building this requires deep expertise in real-time computer vision, colorimetry, and mobile GPU optimization.
