Hello,
I see there is a point cloud available with the use of the LiDAR is ARKit 4. Is there a reference to how accurate we are able to determine a measurement with these points. In the video they mention it’s measured in meters.

Kyle

Yes, the unit for depth values (as well as any other distances in ARKit) is meters. But the chosen unit has no impact on the accuracy.
If you have an iPad Pro with the LiDAR sensor I would recommend you to give the scene depth feature a try yourself, e.g. with the Creating a Fog Effect Using Scene Depth and Visualizing a Point Cloud Using Scene Depth developer samples. Seeing it live in action in your own environment will give you a much better feeling for it's accuracy and whether it works for your particular use case than any numbers. Lastly, note that we provide an ARConfidenceLevel for the scene depth buffer - the accuracy of individual depth values highly depends on this confidence level.
