Amazing in-depth access to iPhone LiDAR output

I’ve only scratched the surface and use this app directly for its incredible built/in presets for artistic viewing of LiDAR output, but there is SOOO much more to it. Every parameter you can imagine is adjustable, and the output (both in terms of raw data and video feed) can be sent to tools like OBS or Touch Designer for deep integration. Developer is super responsive and clearly dedicated to his craft.

Brilliant app

Though I’m not a regular TouchDesigner user I’ve managed to stream to TD from the app.

However, in the latest update (downloaded 25/07/26), the Point Cloud feature seems to be broken: no live preview. iPhone 14 Pro

Fun and versatile

I use with touchdesigner and also by itself for fun. It’s great for streaming from your phone for vj use and special effects. It was well thought out and has easy documentation

The LiDAR toy you didn’t know you needed

Very exciting initial experiments with this app. Should be useful on several fronts. Stoked to see where we end up from here!

Incredible App

This app has it all, and it just keeps getting better! Excellent developer communication!
