New iPad App Uses Machine Learning to Capture Real World Objects & Convert Them Into Standard 3D Files

Caveat emptor and all that, but the iPad LIDAR Scanner just published in Beta seems seriously impressive, able to "capture" real world objects and convert them into imperfect but pretty usable 3D models. It works, says developer Laan Labs, by automatically extracting objects via machine learning (i.e. extrapolating data for unseen surfaces).

More info from iOS app page: 

3d Scan places and objects in color 3d. Requires the new iPad Pro with LIDAR sensor.

Easily share your 3d scans in iMessage & AR Quicklook using the USDZ format. Additionally export your scans in popular formats such as OBJ, GLTF, GLB, DAE, and STL.

Edit your models to perfection right on the device.

No signup required; no cloud or internet connection required to process and share your scans. It's free! No limits on how many LIDAR scans you can capture.

Scan your house in 3d. Scan your backyard or garden. Import the scan into easily into 3d modeling programs like blender, 3dsmax, sketchup, maya or many others.
