Amazing!
I was completely unaware of the LiDAR scanning function.
I had no idea what it was until today. I was told that my new iPhone 13 Pro has it so I downloaded this app and am amazed at how it works!! I can do so many things with this option now. I am still trying to figure out how to improve my scans and am not sure what is the best way. So, to have some tutorial videos would be a great option.
The only other thing I see with this app is that there are incomplete scans no matter how you do it. There are always holes in places that you have scanned. However, it is minimal when you take into account how great it works!
I would love to be able to take a complete scan of my home without it crashing but it seems too long of a scan does that. So here is an idea for you……….
Maybe you could make an option to scan rooms separately but later be able to assemble them after the separate scans are done. This way we can make models of our complete houses!
Great work on this app! I am so happy with this creation of yours! Keep up the updates and great work! 😊
Love it!!!
Very happy with this app.
It is the only one that is fully
Functional and doesn’t require a dang subscription or pay per scan!! I have one suggestion mainly because I cannot figure it out lol. I would absolutely love a way to make the scan data watertight so when I export the STL it will need minimal modification before printing or importing into CAD. For some reason I am not able to get it to function properly in Solidworks (this is not a fault of this app ) which is a bit annoying because my main hope for this is to use it to generate reference geometries that I can model off of. I am certain there is a way to do it but I haven’t quite figured out the process. Nonetheless I absolutely am blown away with this app and it is everything I was hoping for when the iPhone X came out. The 12 pro just makes it perfect!
This is a game changer.
I’ve been using this app to take quick scans of a room and then be able to revisit those scans to pull measurements.
I then use those measurements to order material. It is a great way to visualize the room while you are shopping for the materials. I am sure that you can find many other uses for this app. I am not sure if it allows you to import the files into blender, unreal, or any other app like that, but for what i use it for it is golden. Thank you, please keep up the great work because right now you are the best scanning app I’ve used to date. I would love a decimate feature that would allow us to simplify scans to the most basic geometry, but in an imperfect world you come through perfectly.

Highly recommend
I use this app multiple times every week, and after several months, I’m very happy with it.
It is fairly simple to use, and what it can do is amazing. The company responds quickly to queries, and it makes regular software updates that improves the features significantly. It is probably among the best in its price range and features…. That said, be aware that there are practical limits to what this virtual reality software can do. This software is a cheap way to initially try VR, but to make quality videos, you have to learn its strengths and limitations. You have to probably buy the proper lighting/studio equipment too. Higher quality videos require the latest/best iPhone too. It requires a fast processor and memory to handle files for the best videos—meshing the max of 300 pictures per scan. But that is true for any software like this. Although you can still do a lot without much additional equipment (and with relatively new cell phones). I am constantly amazed with what I can do with it. But there are things it cannot do—especially if you try to push it beyond its design limits.
Best Lidar scanning app I’ve found — “just works”
This app produces the best scans I’ve seen on iOS. It allows free roaming scanning and is capable of capturing very large spaces (had no trouble with a ~1200 square foot space I tried). Now that the app uses Lidar, the accuracy of the meshes is vastly improved, without the warping that would sometimes occur in the earlier RGB-only versions. Interior walls are perfectly straight and meet at the correct angles (e.g., 90 degrees). Texture quality is great and the USDZs look really great when viewed on a desktop computer. Definitely give this a try especially if you need something that “just works” for serious purposes.
Best value and quality
Having tried almost all of the LiDAR scanning apps, this one is the best so far.
The price is reasonable for hobbyist use, it exports models directly, and is very user friendly. Additionally, the free trial is useful as it allows you to try all of the features before you drop the cash on it.
Huge fan of this app!!
Thank you for your review. We do put a lot of effort into trying to make working in 3D both user friendly and intuitive.

how the iPad turned into... 3D scanner
Do you know what can be built into the seventh iPhone? Infa, of course, is not 100%, but something like a 3D scanner may appear inside the new Apple smartphone with a fairly high degree of probability.
However, if they don't have time to build such a sensor into the "seven", well, then it will be in the iPhone 8 ...
Why is there an easy confidence in this? In addition to the growing interest in 3D printing, which is known to go hand in hand with 3D scanning, there is other evidence. For example, have you heard of a company like PrimeSense? It was her specialists who at one time developed hardware for Kinect. Do you remember who bought PrimeSense at the end of 2013 for some $350 million?
However, what are we all about Apple, but about Apple? They haven't even bothered to build a 3D scanner into their devices yet. So companies like Occipital have to do everything for the lazy residents of the village Kup e rtino (sarcasm!).
Although their Structure Sensor looks like a high-tech growth on the "back" of the iPad, this device really works, which we managed to test for ourselves. By the way, inside the 3D scanner there is an infrared sensor from PrimeSense.
But this is so, by the way.
According to ancient legend, at the end of 2011, Occipital employees together decided to make Kinect mobile. What they did for a year and a half. In the fall of 2013, the company planned to raise money for the Structure Sensor project using Kickstarter and hit the jackpot of one million and almost three hundred thousand US dollars. The first batch of devices was sent out at the beginning of 2014, and now this sensor can be bought if desired in the vastness of Vast.
Inside the Structure Sensor - an infrared laser that paints everything around with a pattern of invisible dots, an infrared sensor, infrared illumination and a completely ordinary battery - the device is autonomous, it works on a single charge for 3-4 hours and 1000 hours can be in standby mode.
The sensor itself is screwed with four screws to the bar, which then clings to the iPad. After that, the scanner and the tablet are connected via a special cable. By the way, today Occipital officially supports the 4th generation iPads, iPad Air and iPad mini with a Retina display - each of them has its own mounting bracket.
In the future, all Apple gadgets with a Lightning connector.
But Android users are asked not to worry. Joke! Occipital promotes open source drivers, distributes a software development kit, supports open CAD specifications, and separately sells a "hacker cable" - in other words, it encourages enthusiasts who are able to create their own unique applications on other platforms.
If you are interested in how the Structure Sensor works. The device uses structured illumination - an infrared laser source applies a special invisible dot pattern to objects in front of the scanner. At the same time, the infrared sensor registers pattern distortions in VGA resolution - when you move the iPad, the 3D scanner creates a depth map for the scene and objects inside it.
Let's move on to the most interesting. Today in the App Store you can find several free applications developed within the walls of Occipital, as well as one really cool program from the Russian - yes, you heard right - company Itseez.
Let's start with the simplest. All applications from Occipital are somehow designed to demonstrate the capabilities of their scanner. For example, the main application - Structure - creates a visualization in three modes - infrared, showing the depth of the scene, and combined, when the image received from the iPad camera is combined with artificial coloring depending on the distance to objects.
There is an option that demonstrates the gaming potential of the gadget. By launching the Fetch app, you can chase the skateboard cat after the yellow ball. First you need to scan the space around - the real world will become part of the virtual game scene. The cat can then be moved within the given limits, avoiding obstacles.
The Scanner application helps you scan an object and then view it in different modes or send a 3D file by mail (PLY or OBJ formats). Room Capture - same as Scanner, but optimized for room scanning. By the way, if everything turns out to be quite simple with objects - when moving around them, the surface of the future 3D model is filled with gray - then to get a more or less acceptable result when scanning a room, you will have to sweat (in the latter case, we would recommend using a tripod).
The Calibrator and Viewer programs are auxiliary utilities that you can safely skip (Calibrator helps you fine-tune the image overlay from the tablet camera and scanner, and the Viewer displays three video streams on the iPad screen and is very similar to the Structure application described above). And go to the program from the Nizhny Novgorod company Itseez. To begin with, we had to be smart. The mounting plate of the test sample was suitable only for the iPad mini, and the strength of the existing copy was not enough to work with Itseez3D ... In general, masking tape, double-sided tape, coupled with iPad Air, created a miracle!
The application can work in two modes - scanning objects or a person. On the one hand, everything is simple: to separate the object from the background, you need to spread magazines or newspapers around, and then, focusing on the task progress indicator, walk around the object, periodically fixing the tablet with the fixed scanner in space (it is at these moments that the tablet scanner makes another "snapshot", which is immediately sent for processing).
On the other hand, without certain skills, something like this can turn out. But after an hour of training, everything looked much better.
Scan a person - Itseez3D makes what videographers call the "milky" plan a bit easier. For example, here you do not need to cover the object with printed materials - it is enough for the program to recognize the face of the person being filmed, and then catch it in a green frame. We smoothly go around (without fixing) the object in a circle, do not forget to remove the crown - then the resulting 3D model needs to be rendered on the company's servers. And then you can brag to your friends by scrolling the resulting object on the screen of your tablet or laptop. Or print yourself a loved one on a 3D printer.
Based on the results of two days of picking the Structure Sensor, let's be honest: for ordinary users, this is a toy for two days. But if you are a developer who believes in the triumph of technology, if you, some kind of trendsetter, or at least bought a 3D printer on the cheap, then the Structure Sensor should definitely replenish your gadget arsenal.
Like it or not, but this device, despite a lot of glitches and a small assortment of applications, perfectly demonstrates what can become real tomorrow. And it's worth a lot.

How do they annoy
How enrage people with devices without lidar and who write about things that don't work for them...
They simply take and underestimate the rating with their ignorance of how the application works.
Dimasik san
Great application, crashes when processing large objects, but it's understandable. the application is still raw
I have already scanned the whole house)
I think if you make it so that objects could be shared on social networks or somewhere else, it would blow up the Internet))
Everything is awesome!
IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR DEVICES WITH A LiDAR SCANNER!
Thanks for the developers for a great free app
