LiDAR sensor

Hey, I am a new developer with huge aspirations for my upcoming app. I am still learning how to code on the new UI, but wish to know where I can learn how to implement the LiDAR scanner in my app, and how to use all of its benefits.

Hi rlaress,

Great to hear your interest! There are many ways to develop for AR experiences, depending on what you have in mind. Can you describe a bit more about how you intend to use the LiDAR Scanner? For more information, you can check out the Explore ARKit 4 session video, which also has links to sample code.

If you are interested in creating AR experiences that do not specifically require the LiDAR Scanner, I would recommend checking out Reality Composer, which makes it easy to build AR experiences without any code. It also integrates with Xcode so you could jump in and add your own custom logic if you so choose.

You can then export and share your creations with others and can easily be viewed using the built-in AR Quick Look viewer, or embed it in your own app by following this documentation.

Thanks for all the info, it's really useful. To answer your question, I intend to use the LiDAR scanner for medical applications. How do you recommend I should start? or in what way should I develop the AR experience?
