Dot3D vs Spectacular Rec

Stop settling for "good enough" scans. Dot3D is the industry-leading mobile LiDAR solution for professionals who value verifiable accuracy, large-scale reliability, and total data privacy, without the artifacts that plague other 3D apps. From complex construction sites to sensitive crime scenes, Dot3D turns your iPad or iPhone into a professional-grade 3D laser scanner. REAL ESTATE, AEC & BIM: Capture accurate as-builts of any-size interiors and export point clouds into AutoCAD, SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, ArchiCAD, and more. CRASH & CRIME FORENSICS: Document scenes with verified accuracy and geo-referencing for courtroom-ready evidence. No cloud uploads required (all processing happens locally on-device). INDUSTRIAL: Document complex piping, machinery, and MEP systems with ease. Add annotations and high-res camera photos to your scans for additional context. Key Features: • REAL-TIME 3D SCANNING on your LiDAR-powered device (iPhone/iPad Pro) with virtually unlimited scan size • TARGETING WORKFLOWS (optional) with known reference measurements for highly accurate results • LOOP-CLOSURE technology eliminates doubles and ghosting artifacts (with or without coded targets) • GNSS COMPATIBILITY with receivers from Emlid, Trimble, Leica, and more. Add control and geo-reference large outdoor captures • 3D COORDINATE SYSTEMS: Take full control. Supports local, site-wide and global (geo-referenced) systems. • NO CLOUD REQUIRED: All data is processed locally • APPEND NEW SCAN DATA directly into existing Dot3D scans • 3D MEASUREMENTS and fill-volume calculations: precise and savable • ANNOTATE 3D locations in your scans during or after capture • EMBED HIGH-RES PHOTOS from the device camera into your scans for additional context • CROP OR HIDE any part of the scan, for easy data cleanup Unlock a wide variety of third-party workflows with Dot3D Pro: • EXPORT color 3D point clouds: DP, E57, LAS, LAZ, PTS, PTX, PLY, PTG • EXPORT ORTHOPHOTOS: scaled and geo-referenced • PROCESS SCAN-TO-BIM using directly connected third-party services • FRAME-BASED EXPORTS to 3rd party NeRF, gaussian splatting, and photogrammetry software Our point-and-shoot technology is empowering workforces across a wide range of professional industries in need of accurate and reliable 3D capture solutions: Police departments, government agencies, real estate professionals, architects, surveyors, naval engineers, general contractors, insurance agents, crime scene analysts, BIM specialists, archaeologists, interior designers andmore are trusting Dot3D for their mobile 3D scanning needs. Start with a free trial and unlock Dot3D Pro whenever you're ready to access the full functionality and export directly to all your downstream workflows in CAD, forensic reconstruction, VR, AR, and much more. IMPORTANT: LIDAR-EQUIPPED DEVICE REQUIRED FOR 3D SCANNING: iPhone Pro / Pro Max (12 & up) or iPad Pro (2020 or later) If you install onto an incompatible device, you will not be able to 3D scan, but can still open and view Dot3D scans captured from other devices.

This app records video and IMU sensor data in a format that can be later post-processed by Spectacular AI tools to create 3D reconstructions. Please note that the App itself only records data and you will need to upload it to a computer to do actual reconstructions. NeRFs and Gaussian Splatting reconstructions require a capable GPU to process.
