AR Code Object Capture Now Works on All iPhones and iPads No LiDAR Required
Apple ARKit | 05/08/2025 |
Explore the exciting potential of the latest version of the AR Code Object Capture app, now compatible with all iPhones and iPads, even those without LiDAR sensors. This breakthrough puts advanced 3D scanning and AR creation at the fingertips of millions, allowing you to generate stunning 3D models and AR QR Codes with just the camera on your device.
Whether you're a student using an iPad, a content creator wielding an iPhone SE, or a pro with the latest iPhone Pro, AR Code Object Capture adapts seamlessly to your equipment, enabling you to swiftly craft immersive AR experiences.
No LiDAR? No Problem
Previously, 3D capture on iOS relied on LiDAR sensors only available on the iPhone Pro and iPad Pro. Now, this technology opens up for any iPhone or iPad running iOS 17 or later, thanks to cloud-based photogrammetry. Record a video with our photogrammetry guidelines tutorial, and let the app safely upload the footage to our server. There, an intricate 3D model is crafted and delivered back, ready for AR viewing via a freshly created QR Code.
This advancement expands state-of-the-art 3D scanning capabilities to almost every Apple device, eliminating the need for additional hardware.
For iPhone Pro or iPad Pro users, the app leverages LiDAR to scan and handle 3D models directly on your device. LiDAR grants real-time depth and geometry precision, ideal for professional tasks demanding accuracy and privacy.
Both scanning modes blend seamlessly into the app, optimizing performance according to your hardware capabilities.
MacOS & Web-Interface Support
AR Code Object Capture also works with MacBooks powered by Apple’s M-series chips, requiring macOS 15 or later. In contrast to non-LiDAR iOS devices, the Mac version executes photogrammetry locally, harnessing the M-series chip’s exceptional speed and efficiency. This results in a fast, private, and offline solution for crafting advanced 3D models.
With over 100 million M-series MacBooks around the globe, this edition provides creators, businesses, and educational institutions with powerful desktop tools for developing and overseeing immersive AR experiences.
AR Code Object Capture is also accessible through our web interface, ensuring cross-platform access for individuals preferring browser-based 3D model creation and AR deployment.
Used Across Industries
AR Code Object Capture is revolutionizing various industries, changing how professionals create, analyze, and share 3D content. From cultural preservation to commercial applications, the app streamlines the entire workflow—from scan generation to AR interaction.
- Cultural Heritage and Museums – Bring artifacts and monuments to life. Let audiences explore exhibitions from anywhere using AR QR Codes.
