There are now many 3D LiDAR scanning apps out there and IMO Polycam is actually one of the weaker ones.

My personal favourites are Scaniverse and Dot3D (which is currently in open Beta).


Can confirm that Scaniverse is amazing.


It's worth trying out polycam even without a Lidar iPhone, the standard photogrammetry is pretty cool.


I've been interested in trying something like this for a while but I don't have an iPhone. I've thought about getting one just for this purpose.

Does anyone know of a cheap lidar usb camera or something like that you could use with software like poly.cam?


Polycam supports android and web now, you can upload a bunch of jpegs online. I've used it to create photogrammetry from drone captures. Good enough for sharing with others, but not on par with dronedeploy or ODM for pro surveying


Interesting - thanks!


Does this app do anything special, or is it just $8 a month for something that nobody's bothered to make an open source version of yet?
