According to technology news site ZdnetThis is a scanner (scanner) with LiDAR technology. LiDAR is a method of measuring the distance to a target by illuminating the target with infrared rays and using that light to build a 3D image of its surroundings.
Apple uses LiDAR technology for iPhone because this sensor can work in all lighting conditions. Thanks to this technology, the iPhone can autofocus in low light faster and help take better portraits in low light.
However, the function of that scanner will work more effectively if you use the right apps.
One of them is the app 3D Scanner App. This app allows you to do all sorts of interesting things with scans, edit 3D files, measure objects and even share 3D files with others.
Another app that also helps exploit the LiDAR scanner on iPhone more optimally is Canvas: LiDAR 3D Measurements.
This application will save you many hours of measuring and measuring with a ruler if you want to design and modify the house. The application is very easy to use and gives very good results according to the site's rating Zdnet.
