There are many playful options to enjoy with 3D Creator, such as creating an avatar for use in the camera AR effects options, setting a live wallpaper, sharing on social media with your friends as a 3D sticker, or sending to a 3D printer to make it into a memorable keepsake. So in simple words, this 3D creator app lets you capture images in 3D. Currently, it is only available in Xperia XZ1 and XZ1 Compact.
