Foxtail vs Record3DStream

Foxtail — Positional Streaming Be part of the experience. Not just the audience. Foxtail transforms your phone into a spatial node — streaming your real-world position into immersive live experiences, concerts, domes, and LED environments in real time. Move through the space. Shape the sound. Influence the visuals. Your physical presence becomes part of the show. How it works Foxtail uses your phone's built-in AR tracking to stream your position to the venue's live experience engine. No special hardware. No headset. Just you, your phone, and the space around you. Built for — Immersive domes and planetariums — LED wall and large-format screen venues — Live concerts and festival experiences — Immersive theater and interactive installations Features — Real-time 6DOF position streaming — Ultra-low latency WebSocket connection — Simple session joining via QR code or code entry — Works with iOS ARKit — No account required Free to use. Just show up, scan, and become part of the experience.

Record3D Stream turns your iPhone or iPad with LiDAR into a real-time 3D sensor for robotics and computer vision applications. Stream synchronized RGB images, depth maps, confidence maps, camera intrinsics, 6-DoF pose, and IMU data over WiFi or USB to your computer. Integrate easily with our Python SDK for visualization and data processing, or use our ROS2 driver to publish sensor data as standard ROS2 topics (PointCloud2, Image, LaserScan) — perfect for robotics pipelines. Features: - Real-time RGBD streaming over WiFi or USB - LiDAR depth maps with confidence data - Full camera intrinsics and 6-DoF pose (ARKit) - IMU data (accelerometer + gyroscope) - Live depth visualization on device - Low-latency binary protocol with per-connection backpressure - Python SDK for easy integration - ROS2 Jazzy driver with RViz2 visualization - Camera-to-robot calibration tools Perfect for robotics researchers, 3D scanning enthusiasts, AR/VR developers, and anyone who needs affordable real-time depth sensing. Requires an iPhone or iPad with LiDAR sensor (iPhone 12 Pro or later, iPad Pro 2020 or later).
