Learn about LiDAR - capturing the 3D world

Location

Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science - 1210

Come learn about LiDAR, now available in the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13. What can you use it for and how does it work? Attendees will experiment with two types of LiDAR systems, the terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) which can capture a scene in 30 seconds, and LiDAR in iPads, which takes about 5 minutes and is less precise. LiDAR is used in remote sensing and environmental science to capture forests, man-made structures, shorelines, and many other applications. In this demo, we will show fully created 3D scenes from the TLS, and also allow attendees to create 3D representations using the iPads.
