my new lidar-equipped iphone is arriving tomorrow.?ÿ i don't code, don't know coding, etc-?ÿ but i'll happily beta test any scanning app one of you writes.?ÿ?ÿ
?ÿ
dead serious- i can see this being a huge help in spot situations.
Is its 5-meter max range a problem?
not for the context that i'm envisioning.?ÿ i do lots of as-builts of apartments and office complexes, and almost always end up with boatloads of control points on site, and it's usually still not enough to shoot around every last nook and cranny.?ÿ i could see this being really handy to cut down on the amount of taping and shooting required to get a LOT of the more, um... "non-vital" info- like arty-farty curving sidewalks and rock walls and landscaping features.
and it's usually still not enough to shoot around every last nook and cranny.
When I've done this I've shot a couple corners and taped the rest; seems to go fairly quick that way.
How does this phone work though??ÿ You have to mount it and scan??ÿ Or can you walk around with it?
man, the creativity and improvisational skills of some of these concrete guys has these apartment complexes filled with sidewalks that you couldn't even begin to make any kind of economical job out of- it's like a smorgasboard of LSIT test questions: compound curves, non-tangent reverse curves, spiral curves, etc, etc.?ÿ?ÿ
i bill for it, but it gets awfully tedious sometimes.
as for how it works- i don't know, that's why i summoned the nerds.?ÿ as per apple it's just a feature in aiding the camera on the phone.?ÿ i'm sure, though, that it can be hijacked into a simple spot scanner.?ÿ this really seems like a point where the iphone can become a useful data collector, after years of us all moaning about wanting one with the battery life to plug into our robots...
