NetSpot 3 delivers powerful WiFi site surveys with internet speed, ping tests and device discovery to iPhone and iPad users. Build realistic WiFi heatmaps right on your iPhone or iPad in minutes, without additional expensive hardware! Analyze and troubleshoot your wireless networks with color-coded interactive heatmaps, very simple to create and interpret. NetSpot, famous for its versatile network tools with millions of business and home users across all platforms, is the only WiFi scanner app with heatmap visualizations on the App Store. Effortlessly manage your Wi-Fi survey projects by organizing them into multiple zones and snapshots for each surveyed area. Flexible configuration settings let you customize the look and feel of your WiFi map and choose the desired gradient to properly highlight areas with high WiFi speed and stable connection, as well as the areas with low WiFi signal that may need improvements. NetSpot’s WiFi speedtest is a great one-tap solution to verify and track performance of your wireless setups over time. NetSpot also offers Ping Tests. A ping test is a great way to check network connectivity for any underlying network issues and measure the latency. High latency may indicate slow or laggy internet, which affects gaming or video calls quality. NetSpot offers a handy Device Discovery mode, which basically turns the app into a network scanner collecting information on all devices connected to your network. It depends on devices, which information can be collected, but in general you can see such data as MAC address, IP address, device names, software and firmware versions, a class of device (e.g. smartphone, smart device or a laptop.), etc. The free version of NetSpot for iOS lets you use Device Discovery mode, as well as test the ping and Internet speed. WiFi Survey mode with heatmaps is available in NetSpot Plus - a one-time in-app purchase.

Read full description

The use of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) for 3D reconstruction is on the rise, but the challenge of obtaining a suitable dataset for NeRFs persists. This difficulty arises from the need for a collection of images whose positions and calibration parameters are accurately determined. NeRFCapture addresses this challenge by leveraging ARKit to establish the pose of each captured image. The resulting dataset, containing images and their respective poses and calibration parameters, can be saved offline or shared directly with your preferred NeRF implementation over the network. NeRFCapture seamlessly integrates with InstantNGP, a popular NeRF implementation, and allows for real-time data transfer using DDS with automatic peer discovery. Furthermore, NeRFCapture can also broadcast depth data if your iOS device is equipped with LiDAR. Simplify your data capture process with NeRFCapture (https://github.com/jc211/NeRFCapture), an open-source tool that encourages contributions from the community. For detailed instructions on using InstantNGP with NeRFCapture, please refer to https://github.com/NVlabs/instant-ngp/blob/master/docs/nerf_dataset_tips.md#NeRFCapture.
