LiDARo

LiDARo is a fast, accurate LiDAR 3D scanner that captures objects and rooms as voxel models, textured meshes, and point clouds. Scan in real time, preview instantly, and export to OBJ, PLY, USDZ (AR Quick Look), or Minecraft Litematic/NBT — bringing real-world spaces into your 3D projects and into the Minecraft universe. Built for creators, Minecraft builders, and 3D artists.
