Augmented Reality 3D Content Creation Platform Using LiDAR Technology

The client faces difficulty in providing immersive, high-quality visual representations of physical products for online sales, resulting in limited customer interaction and potential for higher returns. They seek a solution to enable easy creation of customizable 3D models using mobile devices equipped with LiDAR sensors, with an intuitive interface suitable for marketers, business owners, and sellers.

A mid-sized retail company aiming to enhance product visualization and marketing through AR and 3D modeling for online and in-store experiences.

• Develop a mobile application that leverages LiDAR technology to facilitate high-quality 3D model creation of products in a user-friendly manner.
• Enable users to scan objects and generate optimized, AR-compatible USDZ files suitable for sharing, previewing, and editing.
• Integrate features that allow previewing scanned objects in augmented reality from multiple angles to aid decision-making before editing or publishing.
• Streamline the process so that non-technical users can quickly produce customizable 3D assets for marketing campaigns.
• Achieve increased engagement, higher conversion rates, and cost savings by eliminating traditional photo and video shooting workflows for product promotion.

• LiDAR-based scanning of objects directly via mobile app
• User-selectable quality options (e.g., HD, SD) for 3D models
• Real-time AR preview functionality from multiple angles
• Export to AR-compatible file formats (USDZ)
• Storage and management of scanned files within the device
• Sharing capabilities via email and cloud services
• Integration with graphic editing software for further customization

• Email services for sharing scanned models
• Cloud storage solutions for saving and accessing 3D assets
• Graphic editing software APIs for model customization
• Browser previews for AR content viewing

• App should support seamless real-time AR preview without latency exceeding 200ms
• System must handle high-resolution scans (HD quality) efficiently on devices with minimum 8GB RAM
• Data privacy and security measures for user-generated content
• Compatibility with latest versions of iOS (minimum iOS 14+) and Apple devices with LiDAR sensors
• Scalable architecture to accommodate increasing user base and model volume

The platform is expected to significantly enhance product visualization capabilities, leading to increased customer engagement, higher conversion rates, and reduced operational costs by replacing traditional photography workflows. It aims to empower marketers and sellers to quickly produce high-quality, customizable 3D models, fostering innovative marketing strategies and elevating brand presence across digital channels.
