Record3DStream vs SensorStream, powered by ROS 2

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).

SensorStream turns your iPhone into a sensor platform, streaming LiDAR depth, RGB camera, IMU, and GPS data to your host computer over Wi-Fi or USB. Built for robotics prototypers, researchers, or anyone who wants to use the iPhone's powerful built-in sensor suite. SENSOR STREAMS • LiDAR Depth — 256×192 depth frames at up to 30 FPS from front and back (Wide) cameras (requires a LiDAR-equipped iPhone) • RGB Camera — JPEG-compressed colour frames at up to 30 FPS from the wide-angle camera, or front-facing camera • IMU — accelerometer, gyroscope, and quaternion orientation data at a configurable frequency • GPS — GNSS position TRANSPORT OPTIONS • Wi-Fi (TCP) — connect wirelessly over your local network; scan the server's QR code from the app for instant pairing • USB — low-latency wired connection via PeerTalk / iproxy for demanding real-time applications INTEGRATION • Driver for integration with ROS 2 — a companion driver publishes sensor data directly to ROS 2 topics (/depth_image, /color_image/compressed, /imu/data, /gps/fix) using sensor_msgs message types ON-DEVICE PREVIEW • Real-time depth overlay with adjustable min/max range and colour thresholds • Live camera preview • IMU visualiser for orientation feedback • Per-sensor toggles and settings — configure each sensor independently before streaming HOW IT WORKS 1. Start the companion driver on your computer 2. Open SensorStream, go to Settings → Network, and connect via Wi-Fi (scan the QR code or enter IP/port manually) or USB. 3. Enable the sensors you need on the Dashboard. 4. Tap Start Streaming, that's it. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone with iOS 15.6 or later • LiDAR sensor required for depth streaming (iPhone 12 Pro and later) • Host computer running Python 3.9+ and ROS 2 Humble for the companion server
