About

This app uses LiDAR scanners to create detailed 3D models of real-world spaces like caves and shelters. It offers various viewing modes, including 3D, top-down, and side-view projections, with export options for generated meshes.

LiDAR-powered 3D mesh generation
Multiple viewing modes (3D, plan, elevation)
Export scan files (.OBJ)
High-resolution screenshot capture

What's New in CavernSeer

0.3.2

December 7, 2021

### ScanFile v2 ### - serialized contents are no longer tied to platform-dependent types. - openable on macOS. - v1 files are upgradable to v2 files. - can now be copied and renamed, will allow for future mutation-copy functionality. ### New Features ### - Start and end snapshots can now be exported from the app by long-pressing on them. - Added button to renders that shows/hides backsides of meshes; previously backsides were always transparent (known bug #37: this often breaks in the cross-section render). ### Reworks/Fixes ### - iOS 15 broke retrieval of meshes from getCurrentWorldMap, now finally fixed. - lots of investigation into memory leaks/safety. - using common general render model for all renders for simplicity.

Great App for LiDar Cave Survey

This is a Very functional application. It makes easy and accurate work of cross sections as well as a plan view. It’ll even render a nice profile view of the cave. The screen shot definition works quite well when exporting to another program to create a flat map.

— is there a way to import .obj files into this app?? I would be very interested to have this function available unless it already is possible and I haven’t figured it out. —

FAQ

What devices can use CavernSeer to capture scans?

Only devices with a LiDAR scanner can capture new scans. This currently includes iPhone 12 Pro models and newer iPad Pro models. All iOS/iPadOS 14 devices can view existing scans.

What file formats can CavernSeer export?

CavernSeer can export scan files and a plaintext .OBJ render of the 3D mesh. This allows for further use in other 3D modeling software.

Does CavernSeer have ads?

No, CavernSeer does not contain advertisements. It is a completely ad-free experience for users.

How accurate are the 3D meshes generated by CavernSeer?

The app is designed to generate 'relatively-accurate' 3D meshes. The accuracy is dependent on the LiDAR scanner's capabilities and the environment being scanned.

Can I change the units of measurement in CavernSeer?

Yes, CavernSeer allows you to switch between meters and decimal-feet in any distance contexts within the app. This provides flexibility for different user preferences.

What is the age rating for CavernSeer?

CavernSeer has an age rating of 4+. This indicates it is suitable for a wide range of users, including younger individuals.

How often is CavernSeer updated?
