Magicplan is a mobile application developed by Sensopia Inc. The app enables users to create 2D and 3D floor plans in real time by using the camera of a smartphone or tablet alongside augmented reality (AR) technology. Magicplan is currently available for iOS and Android devices and has been used by professionals in various industries, such as architecture, real estate, and home improvement.

The app gained widespread recognition and was included in Apple's 2017 Best Apps of the Year list.
