@@murdermelon6103 lol i guess it just means we’re in the early stages of LiDar, 3d scanning and it’s uses. So 5 years ahead there could be so many new opportunities using 3D scanning
@@MikeShPr Lidar is heavily software driven, especially in applications like this. Likely the only difference between the lidar on iPhone 12-12s-13-13s-14 will be software. And Luckily, Apple is pretty good at continuing to improve software like this of underutilized hardware and what ever the 13 has, the 12 will then have it too.
I'm REALLY glad that I watched this because I was just about to buy an iPhone 12 Pro, just for this feature. I wanted to scan in for AR artwork and now I think I'll look at other options. Some of the other videos made it look so much more impressive.
Imagine crowdsourcing lidar scans to build a realistic game of the entire world. Like a mix between GTA 5 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Drones will probably also be able to use this technology.
@@flip7194 Maybe they could use AI to understand what objects are and make them out of realistic materials that are destructible and realistic to interact with. In MSFS2020 they use AI to place trees and buildings where they should be.
Well shadows will also get scanned and we dont want that. We can add our own materials tho. But adding material to every single thing on earth? Nah not possible rn
Thank you. I was thinking of buying the iPhone 12 pro because of the Lidar Sensor to use it for 3d Scan. Your test convinced me, the iPhone 12 mini is enough for me :-)
You can buy a LiDAR for a 35mm camera which cost $350 and sits in the flash shoe, it’s about the size of a matchbox, I don’t know how it compares to the iPhone. Would need post processing as I don’t think the camera would have the brains for it. Be interesting if camera makers run with LiDAR or is it too niche like FLAR?
Is there any point to maybe building a light box with an acrylic base on a "lazy susan" rotating the piece and lighting it from various angles as to produce a better scan?
Probably both. The lidar sensor resolution is pretty low. But software can compensate a lot with overlaying multiple images and utilizing the gyro sensor. It's actually already doing that but I believe this can be improved. What cannot be changed is the minimum distance, which is another reason why it's not able to scan smaller things though.
I dont care about printing but using this as an alternative to taking photos just to capture memories sounds pretty exciting. Hopefully those 3d scans are not too heavy on storage.
The potential to capture memories also excites me. Imagine if the lidar and processor becomes so fast that it can capture live 3D videos and all the movements that are happening in real time
I regret buying my Pixel 6, I wish I bought the iPhone instead for its lidar scanner. Does anyone know a dedicated scanner that I can buy that will work with my Pixel 6?
from first few second , I know it is still totally unsable for 3D printing. the mesh not accurate. missing detail. still a good news for 3D modeler Thanks for sharing
iPhone 12 and iPad Pro have the back side LIDAR Sensor. Check out my newer video how to use the front facing sensor (face-Id) that is there since iPhone X. th-cam.com/video/PJjWxTi2yDo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video, maybe you used it to scan people, I was thinking of buying an iPad Pro instead of a scanner for the price but what you get in the end with the help of the applications (meshing) can be useful to scan arms of people to customize prosthetics? I would really appreciate your answer.
if might work to people scanning. I would actually rather use the face-id sensor on the front, it seems more accurate: th-cam.com/video/PJjWxTi2yDo/w-d-xo.html. Also consider either using a self-printed mirror adapter or this one, which I also ordered for myself: www.kickstarter.com/projects/scanmira/scanmira-a-better-way-to-3d-scan-with-your-iphone-ipad-pro?lang=de
Take this with a grain of salt. But I think buying a scanner will produce higher resolution scans but lower quality texture. IPhone is like the reverse higher quality textures but lower quality details.
Actually every iPhone since X has had a lidar scanner. That is for face unlock...in fact the front facing lidar camera is higher resolution than the rear camera which is more for rooms etc...
@Konrad ZEN: It was the same app as shown in the video, but there is an experimental Mode inside App, which you can turn on. :-) DE: Das war die gleiche App wie im Video, aber im experimental Modus innerhalb der App. :-) Woher wusstest du, dass ich deutsch spreche?
We bought 2 iPhone 12 Pro Max and they both have awful antenna receptions and to return them and go back to my iPhone 11 Pro Max way better for rural areas
While the lion and your car scans were not as high-quality as I could imagine a proper for the photogrammetric one would be even with the same iPhone, the rooms scale is actually pretty good for the quickness and getting the dimensions and textures correctly.
I'm not an Apple Guy but I was sure hoping for more. The Real Problem is a platform where you can real time see errors in the scan so you can real time pain and repaint those errors until they are gone. You can't do that with photos since they are not real time. The expensive 3D scanners all have that ability so when you are done, you have a virtually error free surface w/o holes. The cost of these "expensive" scanners has already dropped an Order of Magnitude so the difference with a high end cell phone is closing quickly. maybe the iPhone 15 will achieve this?
This is actually pretty disappointing. I'm an iPhone user in general, but upgraded specifically for the lidar sensor to use it for better scans than just using camera based iphone apps and it looks the software just isn't there to make anything great with it.
Of course, the whole point of this is so developers like me will be able to make apps for the Apple AR glasses on day one with no problems. That’s what is actually exciting.
I would gladly trade half the speed for double the resolution, at least for nearby objects. I doubt Apple is interested in making a 3d scanning phone, they just want a phone with good enough lidar to accurately place objects in AR space.
Omg thank you so much for this video! Thank GOD I found this video accidentally! I was planning to buy iphone 12 pro because of the LiDAR sensor! I am not a rich person and how lucky I am that I save my money from buying useless thing because of this video! A big big big thank you!!!!

@@HardKore5250 yes
Thank you, Daniel. Very informative. It looks like I will hold off on updating my iPhone for at least one more year.
If you were to buy it for that reason, totally agree!
Make it a few more years.
So has anything better app wise come out since video? I just upgraded and got 12 Pro Max and would like to scan object to print on my 3d printer.
Its a start, it will get better
Scarily better.

awesome content, how was set the lidar with which min cm detail and with depth?
I really just want it to be able to scan sides of houses so i can use it to measure siding. Maybe roofs as well.
I had to look up PLA, because of your shirt. Thanks for educating me!
When I do my hires scans the ends don’t merge or overlap very well and I have a lot of dimpling/concave areas. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
Is there a way to get the file into blender?
Yes, just export it in obj format and you should be able to load that into blender!
I'd like to see the quality with a properly setup 3D scanning rig, i.e. a turntable and tripod mounted iphone vs. just handheld.
3d print ?
from first few second , I know it is still totally unsable for 3D printing. the mesh not accurate. missing detail.

Maybe next generation they have 2 LiDAR scanners for better 3D scan.
Thanks buddy that's me not buying an iPhone for this feature then
Thank you!!
Sony XZ1 has this technology years ago!! 3D scan people, food and objects then order them as a teddy or Glass 3D scan with lazer etched design!!
You should do a follow up video... there is new iPhone 12 3d scanner software.
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎🤓
Can you scan people with it?
Sure this is possible. I am releasing a comparison video soon for different scanners (front vs back camera)
Thanks bro for this video..much needed 👍🏻
Always welcome
So it does not work for scanning small objects like several 1-4 mm?
No, for that you have to use photos and a photogrammetry software like meshroom or photoscape

Yeah this would be awesome!
Im afraid apple is making the lidar sensor a “pro” feature
Ma è un app, ho come si attiva?!!?
Feels like the quality hasn't improved at all in 8 years when you could already use Autodesk iphone app to make 3d models. This is just lot faster.
I would gladly trade half the speed for double the resolution, at least for nearby objects. I doubt Apple is interested in making a 3d scanning phone, they just want a phone with good enough lidar to accurately place objects in AR space.
Just use the TrueDepth camera instead.

Looks fairly inaccurate. Hopefully, it gets upgraded next year to project more “dots”.
Still will use Trnio better than those lidar scanners
Its really incredible how bad it works- i feel really fooled.
I think it works great 👍 like for portrait shots or generel autofocus is instant
Sony's 3D creator on xperia could do a lot better 4 years ago
I think we are just in the beginning
Like mobile phone camera
Can I import scanned objects into Autodesk Maya or Max?
This should be possible. The app supports a lot of different export formats that any 3D modeling software should be able to use.
