Rob said:Exciting progressing of technology for sure, although the main challenge is what to actually do with the data. Are there any current LiDAR produced surveys or images that are actually better than "old tech"?
If you do want to upload it I think you can trick the uploader just by renaming it something.usdz.pdf. Then when people download it they can remove the .pdf to see it. I think.mrodoc said:I would but it is an usdz file so won't attach.
wrong company there apples current buisness model is privacy / ownership especially to content creators. The giant chocolate factory (google) and facebook are the one who try and claim ownership of everything these daysEd said:and of course any data produced with be subject to Apple claiming rights on it
pwhole said:Surely though that begs the question - if they can knock out a real-time LIDAR module that will fit inside an iPhone, why can't we just buy the damn LIDAR module now in a box and sack off the 'phone'? And not waste ?1200? I would hazard a guess the entire module can't cost more than ?50 out of the total retail price? So about ?20 really. If it's significantly more than ?50 of the retail price, it could be argued that everyone who will never need the LIDAR module (i.e. most users) are being rather ripped off?
Buying a new iPhone to survey a cave seems a bit like buying a Ferrari to do the shopping with. Or a giant Harley-Davidson to cruise around Castleton village
