Night Vision is an app that enables photo and video capture in complete darkness, leveraging the LiDAR scanner and TrueDepth camera technology on iPhone and iPad. Unlike other night vision apps, it uses the device's built-in depth sensors to scan the surroundings, delivering genuine night vision imagery that far surpasses the simulated effects of standard camera filters. Features: - Multiple camera modes: Freely switch between LiDAR, TrueDepth sensor, and standard camera modes for dark exploration, close-up viewing, and everyday shooting - Imaging Mode: Switch between 2D Plane, 3D Spatial, and Object Outlines to view depth in the way that best fits the scene - Photo and video capture: Take LiDAR night vision photos or record LiDAR night vision videos with one tap, then save them to the system Photos library - 3D Night Vision: Visualize spatial structure through point cloud imaging, with support for rotating and zooming to inspect 3D outlines in the dark - Distance measurement: Measure the distance between the target and your device in real time to better understand object position and spatial depth - Live streaming: Stream the night vision view in real time to Apple Watch, phones, tablets, and computers so you can monitor the scene anytime How It Works: In well-lit environments, the app combines imaging from the rear standard camera with LiDAR/TrueDepth sensors to enhance image quality. In complete darkness, only the LiDAR scanner or TrueDepth camera is used to generate images, ensuring clear night vision without the need for external light. Supported Devices: Compatible with all iPhones and iPads equipped with a LiDAR scanner or Face ID.

About

Depth Camera RAW

Capture high-resolution depth maps with full precision using your device's LiDAR scanner. This app bypasses standard limitations to save depth data as 32-bit floating-point TIFF images, preserving original accuracy for professional use.

Highlights
  • Capture full-resolution depth maps
  • Utilize LiDAR scanner
  • Save depth data as 32-bit TIFF
  • Preserve original depth precision
  • Direct LiDAR data access
Read full description

This iOS app is designed for professional users who need to capture full-resolution depth maps using the LiDAR scanner on their iPhone or iPad. It addresses the issue of depth maps being scaled down to 8-bit when using the standard iOS libraries, allowing you to capture and save depth maps with their original precision. The LiDAR scanner on supported iPhone and iPad models provides depth information for each pixel in the captured image. However, when using the standard iOS libraries, this depth information is typically scaled down to 8-bit, losing much of the original precision. This app bypasses that limitation by directly accessing the depth data from the LiDAR scanner and saving it as a 32-bit floating-point TIFF image. Each pixel in the resulting TIFF image contains a floating-point value representing the distance from the camera to that point in the scene, in meters. For example, if a point in the scene is 5 meters away from the camera, the corresponding pixel value in the TIFF image will be 5.0. Similarly, if a point is 30 centimeters away, the pixel value will be 0.3.
