Diorama Infinity app for iPhone and iPad

Note: if you dont have an Echo Show, please open up the tester on your computers web browser (http://tester.diorama.space) and point your iPhone or iPad at it! Alternatively, just use the "no Echo Show" mode that loads by default.

If you do have an Echo Show, grab the DIORAMA INFINITY skill from the Alexa Skill store.

Diorama Infinity lets you create infinite worlds inside your Echo Show - by turning the Show into an augmented reality diorama creation platform.

Every time you say "Alexa, open DIORAMA INFINITY", you get a random screen that a user created. Point your phone or tablet at the screen to "see into this world". Note that as you move your device, you can see so much more than just the plane of the screen - its an entire infinite space!

If you want to create your own diorama, simply summon a Grid. Say: Alexa, open DIORAMA INFINITY and load a grid. The creator menu shows up. You can now sign your name. The upload button also appears when you are ready to upload.

There are a few books on the left side. If you cant see their titles, you can touch the red ribbon to rotate your camera in no virtual Echo Show mode. Each book represents a scene choice. Touch a book to change into that scene.

There are 3D animals in front of the Echo Show diorama box, just like there would be if you were building your own diorama. Your job is to arrange them inside the Echo Show to turn it into your diorama!

Echo currently times out after 8 seconds. You can load the grid as your Echo Show home screen image to keep building for as long as you want.

The app also works without needing to point your phone at the Echo Show. Instead, you get a virtual desktop and virtualized Echo Show. The usual touch screen interactions work, such as twist to rotate and two-fingers to pan the camera.

But, as you can see, nothing beats the degrees of freedom youd get for interacting with a real life Echo Show.

Or, as Shakespeares Hamlet might put it, "I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space."


The app currently comes with a Safari Edition demo. More animals and other themes - such as infinite space and unexplored oceans coming soon!

Lets see where your creativity takes you on Diorama Infinity!
