About

rooomLiDAR 3D Scan App

Features
Read full description

With the 3D Scan app from rooom, you can create 3D models of any object on your own as easily as never before. The app uses the LiDAR sensor of your Apple device to capture your desired object from all sides and convert it into an initial 3D model directly on your device. Taking countless individual images is no longer necessary with rooomLidar. Simply capture your object from all sides and see ex-actly which areas have already been captured and when you are finished. How does the scan become a 3D model? Once you have captured your object from all sides, you can view the calculated 3D model of it direct-ly on your mobile device and, if necessary, also cut and edit it. You can also view your scan in aug-mented reality (AR). You can then log in to your rooom account directly via the app and upload your generated 3D data to the pipeline of the rooom platform. From there, you can embed them into your site via ProductViewer, share them via email, or place them in your rooom Spaces. rooomLiDAR features - LiDAR scanner from the 3D expert - Quickly create dimensionally accurate 3D scans - Ideal for scanning larger objects - Free unlimited scans directly on the device - Easy export to the rooom platform - Quick further use with rooom - Integrated measurement tool - Many customization options for 3D professionals System requirements: rooomLiDAR requires a device with a LiDAR sensor, such as the iPhone 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 2020+ iPad Pro or even successor devices.
