Like Shapr3D for instance, who are (the rumors say) working on LIDAR-assisted CAD modeling. This is not cheating, but the future of LIDAR 3D scanning – some companies are working on 3D post processing of scans directly in the app. Looking at the lack of incorrect geometry, not to mention the straight edges of the floor around the mural, I think this model has probably been post-processed before being uploaded. And the bathroom mural example is definitely sus. I’ll eat my hat if they did not do about 20 tries to get that result. Results such as you see in some of these examples, like the pillow in the sofa, are EXTREMELY hard to achieve. Scanning with a LIDAR is akin to running around with a brush overfilled with paint, you may get a good scan the first time you try, but should you touch that area with your scanner you will ruin the first scan. The main thing, IMO is that as-is the LIDAR scanner is built for occlusion mapping, not 3D geometry. Overall, things are happening fast in this space now that the iPhone has a LIDAR scanner and the apps that previously were updated once a quarter are now seeing multiple updates weekly. I’m doing an ongoing evaluation of all LIDAR capable apps in a VR room on Spatial, and would love to meet you there some day in VR to share experiences.
