Description of Heges 3D Scanner

Create 3D scans using the 3D camera (FaceID or LiDAR) of your iPhone 15, 15 Pro, 14, 14 Pro, 13, 13 Pro, 12, 12 Pro, 11, 11 Pro, XS, XR, X or iPad Pro! Export scans into STL, PLY, OBJ, USDZ, GLB (glTF), share them and more. On older devices, you can use the ordinary camera mode or the Screen Sharing feature. This app is *PAID* up-front. Why is it free-to-download then? To protect people with unsupported devices from buying it (more details at the end). Heges is divided into two modes: = 3D Scanner (**PAID**, requires one-time In-App Purchase) ============================ - Available only for iPhones and iPad Pros with the selfie FaceID (TrueDepth) camera and/or LiDAR sensor as an In-App Purchase (Why? Read more at the bottom.) - Create 3D models by scanning everyday objects using the selfie TrueDepth camera (FaceID) and/or the rear LiDAR sensor - After scanning, export the models into PLY, OBJ, USDZ (all with colors), STL, GLB (both without colors) file formats - Share exported models e.g. via built-in Wi-Fi server or view them in the iOS Files app - Use the physical volume buttons to toggle scanning session - Double-tap anywhere in the live camera view to Share Screen with another iPhone/iPad, so that you can better see what you're scanning - View the models in AR - You can scan in pitch-dark environment and use Heges as a night vision camera! - Choose from the available scanning precisions — the higher the precision, the shorter the scanner range - To get the most accurate scans, you must use the selfie FaceID camera with 0.5MM Precision settings; do not use LiDAR if you need accurate scans - The selfie FaceID camera is much more accurate than LiDAR (approx. one order of magnitude), the models in the promo videos were scanned using the selfie FaceID camera of iPhone X - Use the selfie FaceID camera for scanning fine details (up to 2 millimeters accuracy with FaceID and 0.5MM Precision settings) - Use LiDAR for scanning large areas (e.g. houses, hallways, rooms, etc.), LiDAR is NOT suitable for scanning small objects with detail — use the selfie FaceID camera for this purpose - Objects in scanner range are highlighted in the live view - Switch to the passive Night Vision where there're no explicit restrictions on the scanner range Instructions for the 3D scanner: - Move slowly when scanning - Make sure that most of the captured scene is within the scanner range - Please read the FAQ at https://hege.sh/faq The scanner isn't perfect and can fail when moving too fast or scanning a challenging environment (e.g. glass surfaces cannot be captured due to the nature of the TrueDepth sensor). A NOTE FOR iPHONE 13, 14 and 15 (and newer) users: Beginning with the iPhone 13 lineup, Apple introduced a new TrueDepth (FaceID) camera design, which produces (slightly) lower-accuracy results compared to older devices. To get best scan accuracy, consider using any iPhone 12 or older with FaceID. = Color camera mode ============================ - Available for all devices - Manual camera focus - Sharing photos via built-in Wi-Fi server = Why don't you make the app paid on the App Store? Why the annoying In-App Purchase? ============================ It's for protecting people with unsupported devices. (I wish I could make it paid directly on the App Store.) Heges needs the 3D-sensing selfie FaceID camera to be able to capture 3D scans. But not all iPhones/iPads have the FaceID camera, so the app needs to check if your device has FaceID before it allows you to buy the app. The App Store does not allow developers to check if your iPhone/iPad has FaceID, so the only way to check is if you download and open the app. Once you open Heges on your device, it will check if your device is compatible and if isn't, then you will not be able to buy it. If you have any questions just drop me an email at support@hege.sh and I'll be happy to help you :)!

  • I have not been able to get front LiDAR to work

    Attempting to scan a small (4” high 2” square base) salt shaker sitting on a wooden table using the faceID scanner at 1mm:

    * usually it starts by telling me to “slow down” even though I am holding the phone as still as I can, propped on the table, about 12” from the object.
    * if I move slowly to scan anyway, it frequently loses acquisition, needs to recover from tracking errors.
    * if I persist and patiently let it reacquire, the scans always end (on their own) before I can get all 4 sides of the object.
    * sometimes the produced scans have a chimeric quality, two copies of it overlaid.
    * the whole time it’s scanning, the errors are clicking the phone’s haptics constantly like a geiger counter, as it loses and regains tracking rapidly, multiple times a second.

    I want to like this app and use it to model small-medium objects but I just haven’t succeeded with it.

    iPhone 12 pro, FaceID working fine on this unit.

    Rear LiDAR is working fine for me in this app, but I bought it in to try out the front, high detail, lidar.

    Hello, is the salt shaker symmetrical (e.g. does it look like a tube without any distinguishing geometrical features)? If it is, then please try putting auxiliary objects next to the salt shaker, which should help Heges reason about where it is in space. Kind regards, Marek
  • Not sure what happened!?!

    This app used to be one of the best LiDAR scanning apps on the Apple App Store. It was super fast and detailed. The app would capture incredible detail. The models would come out smooth and complete. Now it barely does a decent scan. I don’t know what happened. How did it go from amazing to bleh? I have scans to prove it. You can literally see them progressively get slightly better… then they just fall off a cliff.

    I think you tried adding to many different features, or maybe Apple limited your ability to communicate with the LiDAR sensor itself? I’m not sure but can you fix it? I want my app back. I used to tell everyone about this app. My uncle upgraded to an iPhone 12 PM just for the LiDAR.

    I really hope you read this, and please do not get mad. I’m not trying to get you all riled up. I just want you to know what I’m seeing, from the customers perspective. I’d gladly pay for this app if it worked like it used to. Please fix it.

    Hello, there have been no changes to LiDAR. It sounds like you're comparing the LiDAR mode (low quality) with the FaceID mode (much higher quality). Please make sure to switch to **selfie FaceID camera** and you should immediately see improvements and detailed scans (even on the iPhone 12 PM). If you personally have an iPhone that is older than iPhone 12 Pro, then it would make sense that your uncle's iPhone would **seem** like it was worse than your iPhone at scanning by default, but you just need to switch to the selfie FaceID camera by tapping the camera-flip button in the bottom right corner (next to the red toggle button). It should also be said that Apple decreased the quality of the selfie FaceID camera with the iPhone 13 and 14, but it can still produce much more detailed scans than the LiDAR sensor. See this scan of a keyboard: https:/hege.sh/k.png Are you able to get scans with similar accuracy as shown in the screenshot above? I want to help you and fix any potential bugs, but I would like to ask for your help — if possible, please send me an email at support@hege.sh with one screenshot of a "good" scan and one screenshot of a "bad" scan so that I can get a better idea what you meant. Looking forward to your email and to helping you! Thank you :)! Marek
  • The best

    I have used different scanners of the years (Sense, structure Sensor) and also trialed different “big name apps” with not much success, until Heges. I started using it a month ago or so and have created dozens of scans. It’s accuracy for me is key.

    However, I am also very impressed with Heges, and Mr. Marek Simonik the developer. Let me tell you why:

    For example, the mere fact that the mirroring connects - and stays connected to another iPhone or pad - the way it does is way superior to the other apps I tried so far. This is very important since it’s just not easy to scan 360° objects without having a projection of what is being scanned in real time.

    Second, the vibration mode is an excellent indicator of the scanning process and status. If tracking is lost, it’s easy to know without having to look at the iPhone’s screen, and saves time.

    Third, the accuracy and definition of the scans are very high with the Face ID mode and the option to share/save/upload them to a dropbox folder is a very helpful feature.

    Fourth, the adjustability of the precision and range features enable the user to customize the app for the next scan.

    Fifth, being able to start or stop a scanning project by using the upper Volume button is really helpful.

    Finally, the quality of the support and responsiveness from Mr. Simonik are simply incredible.

    If I could give a 6th star, I would.

    Thank You.
