## What is DepthEye?

Explore and reveal the world in an entirely new way with DepthEye, a unique point cloud scanner app. Each capture transforms familiar spaces into a digital world, where depths are visualized through a color-coded gradient of depth effects. Close objects come alive in vibrant reds, while distant ones fade into cool blues, with yellows and greens defining the spaces in between. For an added touch of realism, toggle to view the actual colors of your surroundings. You can also use surface colors to better see different walls, floors, and objects.

Inspired by the hypnotic visuals of industrial LiDAR scans, this app reveals the world as if all warmth has been stripped away, leaving behind a surreal digital beauty.

While scanning, DepthEye gives you simple guidance to help improve your scan. You can also enable Live Scanning, where older points slowly disappear for a more dynamic effect.

Highlights:
- Capture detailed LiDAR point clouds
- Get guidance while scanning
- Adjust point size for optimal visualization
- Customize the color palette to suit your style (surface, natural, depth, neon and reflectance)
- Export your scans in .PLY point cloud format (XYZ, RGB, Normal values)
- View scanned point clouds directly in the app, with tools to remove noise, measure and crop.

This app requires a built-in LiDAR sensor (iPhone Pro models).

## Key features

- Capture LiDAR point clouds
- Adjust point size

### 3/5 — Device Not Supported

*2026-06-16*

I really want to be able to use this and it looks super useful but apparently neither mine nor my brothers’ phones support it.  We have iPhone 15 and 16.  I don’t see why it needs a pro model phone.

Лимит в 10М точек слишком маленький

### 5/5 — Really Good but a bug

*2026-05-03*
