LiDAR View provides real-time visualization of both LiDAR depth data and camera imagery. You can choose to display the camera view, the LiDAR view, or a combined view that merges both sources for enhanced environmental awareness and depth perception. * LiDAR modes (Options 3 and 4) are especially effective in low-light or dark environments, helping reveal surrounding structures and spatial depth. The visible range can be adjusted using the slider at the bottom of the screen. * Combined modes (Options 2 and 4) blend camera and LiDAR data to enhance object contours and depth details. * In Combined modes, tap the subview to enlarge it for a more detailed inspection. Tap the enlarged view again to return to the combined layout. * The center-point depth is displayed in real time in centimeters. You can capture screenshots at any time by tapping the camera icon, and browse saved images through the photo icon. The built-in flashlight can be enabled using the torch icon. Swipe left on the number icon to access two additional viewing modes: * 3D Point Cloud View — Freely explore the surrounding environment in an interactive 3D perspective by panning the screen. * Stereo View — Experience immersive real-time stereo visualization using Google Cardboard or a compatible VR headset. If you want to view front depth image through TrueDepth camera and front camera, please check our app "FrontDepth View".

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

3D LiDAR Scanner & Model Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D LiDAR Scanner & Model Maker has 188 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of 3D LiDAR Scanner & Model Maker's written reviews are positive against 41% of LiDAR View's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

3D LiDAR Scanner & Model Maker ships an update every 3 weeks, LiDAR View every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
