It would be nice to have full LIDAR based 3D scanning on phones, one for better imaging and two to provide datasets for 2D to 3D LLMs.

- Balero 3y agoYou have to admit that is an extremely niche requirement.
- huytersd 3y agoOh yeah
- dangus 3y agoIt does a bunch of really useful things, though. It improves general camera performance by having an accurate depth scan. Things like portrait mode and object recognition benefit. The Measure app is quietly one of the most amazing apps in existence. You can get an accurate measurement of anything anytime! The lidar sensor makes it far more accurate and less finnicky than on the non-Pro phones. Obviously on its own it’s not worth an upgrade but it’s a great sensor to have on a phone.
- CSMastermind 3y agoYeah Apple's Lidar sensor is one of the most compelling features on their phones. I'm seriously considering switching from Android to iPhone for the first time in my life in part because of it.
- lazycouchpotato 3y agoI've always wondered Android manufacturers copy the wrong things from Apple and not the cool things like the LiDAR sensor. The LiDAR on the iPhone is faster but produces less detailed models. Photogrammetry is slower but produces higher resolution models [1]. I don't know if I would drop $1000+ just for that though.
