    It’s a really cool thing, but if we are honest: That is nothing for the general population. I’m not really sure what Apple is doing with that feature, but there is no way that Grandma Smith will 3d scan things and send them to her grandchildren for 3d printing

      True, I suppose I’m fairly niche in that regard. I mostly made scans of environments using photogrammetry. Basically just documenting a space in time. Like my room, or house, or place I work. It’s cool having a 3d environment, it hits different than a photo. I will be able to explore my old spaces I use to be in everyday in the future if I want to reminisce.
