I made a sample codes using the LiDAR sensor on iOS device. It also includes a sample that scans the real world to a 3D object. I hope this code helps someone who wants to use a LiDAR sensor.

Good Stuff.

I dug into the APIs a few months ago and found it pretty deceptive (on Apple's part) how much of that generated depth map is from the stereo cameras vs the LiDAR sensor. If you cover the cameras or use it in the dark, the quality decreases drastically.

I expect the depth map to use camera information and AI inference as well as LiDAR.

I wonder how soon the general mass adoption of built in Lidar will be (new phones being made from now on) and then the app integration/expansion. Anyway cool gifs.

Thanks for your feedback. I think LiDAR can be used not only for play but also for business. I hope it will be used a lot.

This is fabulous, you could use it to make copies of objects by scanning them and using some form of 3D printer to replicate.

Requires iPhone 12 Pro.

Yes. Requires iPhone Pro or iPad Pro with a LiDAR sensor.
