LiDAR

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a technology that uses laser beams to measure distance and create Point Cloud data.

• ARKit Workflow: Uses the integrated LiDAR sensor to capture spatial environment data.
• 3DGS Compatibility: Data captured via ARKit can be converted into formats compatible with 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) training software to generate high-fidelity 3D models.
