Demo of our new ML based monocular ( no LiDAR required ) 3d capture mode in @3dScannerApp_ . It's pretty inaccurate / rough compared to LiDAR, and only works indoors, but it's free. Available in version 2.0.17 for iPhone 13/14 devices.

Made a simple LIDAR 3d scanner for iPad Pro. Couldn't find any apps that don't require cloud / signup / $ to get a mesh. You can share textured models in AR via iMessage + USDZ, GLTF, OBJ Quality isn't great, and it's slow.. but it's free.

We added a new "object masking" mode to 3d Scanner App that automatically extracts objects using machine learning. Also a few other new things: measuring & bounding boxes, AR placer, auto texture mode ( in settings ) still free: ( requires iPad Pro )

Used NeRF to make a "Bullet Time" effect for a friend's wedding. We set up 15 iPhones to capture slow-motion video, then used @NVIDIAAIDev Instant-NGP to train a bunch of NeRFs on the frames. ..need to work on improving the quality / resolution a bit more.

LIDAR 3d scanning on the iPhone 12 Pro is pretty fun! Doing some tests with our 3d Scanner App... High Res mode + Object masking is pretty useful to quickly measure and preview stuff in AR. All processing on device, no cloud or signups.. and it's free!

Some more info on video since some folks are asking: Objects must be scanned first by moving around them.. it's not instant / magic. We're using the awesome @6d_ai SDK for the scanning process shown in the middle of the video. All model editing/cleanup etc is on device.

For ~35$ ( and an extra iphone ) you can have a pretty cool home robot that uses ARKit for localization. ARKit and ARCore open up fun possibilities for phone based bots: Room mapping, obstacle avoidance, object recognition, etc. 🤖👍

@bilawalsidhu Thanks. It's mostly just a fun hack project. The code is available Though I haven't pushed some recent changes. It's a pretty naive implementation, and needs many optimizations to be productized. I think lots of smarter ppl are making better ones.

@nobbis @jaymstr @6d_ai It's a fair point. We wanted to show something that made sense to people unfamiliar with photogrammetry / 3d. the copy/paste analogy seemed the best way to do that. But many people assumed the app magically copies stuff without any scanning. I'll try to post longer vid today/tom
