The Best 3D Scanning Apps in 2020

[curious aardvark]

there have been a coupleof supposed addons for phones that either never get rolled out on more than one model or just never get the software support they need.

A few years back the next big thing was going to be intels Realsense.
That seems to have died an ignoble death.
I had high hopes for that eventually ending up in a cheapish tablet or phone.
But seesm to have just vanished from the system.

Lets hope the lidar works - 'cos even at apple's insanely exaggerated prices - if it works, that would be decent price for a GOOD 3d scanner.

And given how blocky the iphone 12 is - you;re not going to buy one for it's looks or because it's comfortable to hold for hours at an end.

so the 12 pro - the one with the lidar is £999, and if you actually want to charge it (does not come with charger) then you're paying over £1000 - for a phone.
If it doesn't work as a 3d scanner - why would you even contemplate it ?
