Great app
I like the app it works seamlessly with the driver however please allow an option to change the format of the data IMU data and include G in the linear acceleration.
Free

FAQ
What sensors does SensorStream provide?
SensorStream provides LiDAR depth, RGB camera, IMU (accelerometer, gyroscope, quaternion orientation), and GPS (GNSS position) data. The LiDAR sensor requires a compatible iPhone model.
How can I connect SensorStream to my computer?
You can connect SensorStream to your computer using Wi-Fi over your local network or via a low-latency USB connection. The app supports instant pairing via QR code scanning for Wi-Fi.
What are the system requirements for SensorStream?
SensorStream requires an iPhone with iOS 15.6 or later. A LiDAR sensor is needed for depth streaming (iPhone 12 Pro and later). The host computer needs Python 3.9+ and ROS 2 Humble for the companion server.
Does SensorStream have ads?
No, SensorStream does not contain advertisements. It is a free application designed for developer tools.
How often is SensorStream updated?
