AR Code Object Capture Now Works on All iPhones and iPads No LiDAR Required
Apple ARKit | 23/09/2025 |
Discover the limitless possibilities with the new AR Code Object Capture app available for all iPhones and iPads, even those without LiDAR sensors. This innovation makes 3D scanning and AR creation accessible to millions, allowing the creation of captivating 3D models and AR QR Codes using just the device camera.
Whether you're a student using an iPad, a content creator with an iPhone SE, or a pro with the latest iPhone Pro, AR Code Object Capture adapts effortlessly to your device, enabling the swift creation of immersive AR experiences.
No LiDAR? No Problem
Previously, 3D capture on iOS depended on LiDAR sensors only available on the iPhone Pro and iPad Pro. Now, this capability expands to any iPhone or iPad with iOS 17 or later using cloud-based photogrammetry. Record a video with our photogrammetry guidelines tutorial, and the app will upload it to our server. An intricate 3D model is crafted and returned for AR viewing with a newly created QR Code.
This advancement broadens advanced 3D scanning to almost every Apple device, eliminating the need for extra hardware.
For iPhone Pro or iPad Pro users, the app utilizes LiDAR for scanning and managing 3D models directly on your device. LiDAR offers real-time depth and geometric precision, perfect for professional tasks demanding high accuracy.
Both scanning modes integrate seamlessly into the app, optimizing performance according to your hardware.
MacOS & Web-Interface Support
AR Code Object Capture also functions with MacBooks powered by Apple’s M-series chips, needing macOS 15 or later. Unlike non-LiDAR iOS devices, the Mac version performs photogrammetry locally, utilizing the M-series chip’s impressive speed and efficiency for fast, private offline 3D model creation.
With over 100 million M-series MacBooks worldwide, this edition offers creators, businesses, and educational institutions robust desktop tools for designing and managing immersive AR experiences.
AR Code Object Capture is also accessible via our web interface, ensuring cross-platform access for those preferring browser-based 3D model creation and AR deployment.
Used Across Industries
AR Code Object Capture is transforming industries by altering how professionals create and share 3D content. From cultural preservation to commercial applications, the app enhances workflows from scan generation to AR interaction.
- Cultural Heritage and Museums – Bring artifacts and monuments to life with AR QR Codes for remote exhibitions.
