Stray Scanner vs 6thSense Synapse

Note: requires a device with LiDAR. The iPad Pro, iPhone 12 Pro or iPhone 12 Pro Max currently have LiDAR sensors on them. Stray Scanner allows you to record color, depth and IMU datasets and export them to your desktop computer. For machine learning and dense mapping applications, you need a dataset to work with. Stray Scanner allows you to collect RGB-D datasets with your iPhone. The recorded datasets contain: - color images - depth frames from the LiDAR sensor - depth confidence maps - camera position estimates for each frame - camera calibration matrix - IMU measurements Once recorded, the datasets can easily be moved to your desktop computer by connecting your device with a Lightning cable and accessing the files through Finder. Put your iPhone's LiDAR scanner to good use. No more fumbling around calibrating and configuring depth sensors. Shoot datasets straight from your iPhone.

6thSense Synapse is a mobile control plane for egocentric robotics data capture. Connect to compatible capture rigs and cameras on your local network, coordinate multi-camera recording, monitor device and storage status, and review captured sessions from the field. BUILT FOR ROBOTICS DATA OPERATIONS - Discover compatible cameras on your local network - Start and stop recording from one control surface - Monitor recording, connectivity, temperature, and storage status when reported by the device - Browse recorded sessions and open available footage - Manage supported camera and network settings Synapse communicates directly with compatible devices over the local network. Available controls and status details depend on the connected device and its software version. OPTIONAL CONTRIBUTOR WORKSPACE Eligible participants in enabled regional programs can use the contributor workspace for account access, regional agreements, supervised camera registration, contribution status and payment information. Participation depends on the applicable published agreements and program availability. Camera remote controls remain available without a contributor account. Recording, uploaded time, approved time and completed payments are separate stages. An authorized operator imports camera storage cards, QC determines usable footage, and an operator approves payments. OPTIONAL SUPPORT Browse the searchable FAQ or choose AI support chat for troubleshooting and requests to the 6thSense team. Sending a message requires your agreement to share support messages, optional photos, contact details and app/camera context with the AI provider and support team. You choose which photos to attach. Camera controls and the FAQ remain available without sending a support message.
