In plain words

SketchAR is an augmented reality app that projects virtual images onto paper or other surfaces, allowing users to trace drawings directly from their phone. It serves both beginners who struggle with drawing and professional artists seeking a convenient way to transfer sketches onto canvas, walls, or other materials. Available on iOS and Android, the app uses AR technology to overlay digital images in the real world for tracing purposes.
