Richard,
Yep, it would definitely be pointless to download Super Lidar on a
device without a Lidar sensor. :(
I can't wait to hear what you think!

Thanks Shane,
I am intending to get one of the iPhone 13 models when they come out and will 
certainly try out the Super LLIDAR app then.

I assume it is pointless to download it on a device without LIDAR.

Thanks,

I think supersense has a whole other app called SuperLidar which I have not 
looked into since I don't have a phone with LIDAR yet.
I don't know if it is another paid app.
Seeing AI is free, so worth checking out to see what it is like.

2021-08-12 Thread Richard Turner
I think supersense has a whole other app called SuperLidar which I have not 
looked into since I don't have a phone with LIDAR yet.
I don't know if it is another paid app.
Seeing AI is free, so worth checking out to see what it is like.

Lidar is an acronym of "light detection and ranging"
or "laser imaging, detection, and ranging".

Now, whether you should care about it, I cannot say.
