[Core Features] Professional LiDAR 3D Scanning Real-time Modeling: Utilize ray-casting algorithms to generate environmental meshes in real-time as you move. Intelligent Optimization: Features "Realistic Texturing" and "Glass-Hole Patching" algorithms to ensure your models are as lifelike as possible.
