One, for the CAD app Shapr3D, scans a room and makes a 3D model of the room in the app. Here’s a GIF of the app in action:Īlongside the AR version of Hot Lava, Apple also showed some other impressive uses of the LIDAR scanner to journalists over a briefing earlier today. A player scans a living room with an iPad, and the app generates hot lava on the floor and platforms for the game’s character to jump on in AR. The game is a clever way to show off the capabilities of the LIDAR scanner. According to Apple, “The LiDAR Scanner on the new iPad Pro will enable Hot Lava’s new AR mode, available later this year.” Hot Lava is available on Steam, but its mobile version is currently an Apple Arcade exclusive. The announcement was included as part of today’s iPad Pro announcement. The new iPad Pro’s LIDAR scanner can turn a living room into an augmented reality version of Hot Lava, a video game based on the childhood pastime where you jump on furniture to avoid imaginary lava on the floor.
