This app can acquire 3D point clouds using an iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPad Pro (2nd generation) 11-inch display equipped with LiDAR or an iPad Pro (4th generation) 12.9-inch display or later. The acquired point cloud can be previewed on the spot and output to a text file in XYZ RGB format. The data can be displayed in VR immediately by using it in a CAD or CG application, or by importing it into the VR system "pronoDR" of Prono Hearts. When the lock is not released, the number of continuous shots is limited to 5, but it is possible to output the point cloud acquired up to that point to a file. In addition, a measurement function has been added. You can remove the restriction by charging with your App Store account.
