CavernSeer for Android

11 things about CavernSeer

1. Designed for cave and shelter surveying, CavernSeer leverages the LiDAR scanner of the 2020 iPad Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro, and RealityKit's scene reconstruction, to generate relatively-accurate 3D meshes of real-world spaces and render them in various convenient ways.

2. * Cross Section Render - an elevation projection (see above) with an inset plan-projection indicating the position and size of the camera, and a switch for making the camera "depth-of-field" 1-meter deep to create a cross-section slice.

3. All iOS/iPadOS 14 devices can run the app and view existing scans shared by others, but devices with a LiDAR scanner (currently iPhone 12 Pros and newer iPad Pros) can capture new scans.

4. Pressing the center button starts a scan, after which you can enable Apple's debugging overlays, either showing _Debug_ information or a _Mesh_ preview which displays the currently captured mesh on screen, as well as enabling the device's flashlight.

5. * Elevation Projected Render - a "side-view" orthographic projection with scale bar, compass, and various controls.

6. Scans created by the user or imported from elsewhere will appear in the "Scan List" tab, which lists out the names and the starting photo of the scan.

7. * 3D Render - a 3D perspective rendering view navigable based on the setting "3D render interaction mode".

8. * Plan Projected Render - a "top-down" orthographic projection complete with scale bar.

9. * Setting for changing the interaction mode in the 3d Render view.

10. Clicking the center button again will complete and save the scan, which will appear in the scan list.

11. The depth control is similar to the plan-projected height control, allowing for pushing the camera through obstructions.
