TDLidar

Description

TDLidar turns your iPhone into a live depth-sensing camera and a 40-sensor streaming hub for TouchDesigner, OBS, Resolume, and any NDI-aware tool on your network. Send LiDAR depth over the air, plus body and hand tracking, audio, motion, light, and dozens more sensors — straight to your show machine, no capture card or tether required. Streaming the iPhone's depth into a live show used to mean cables, capture cards, drivers, and latency. TDLidar replaces all of that with a single tap: open the app, tap Start NDI, and your iPhone appears as a 1080p / 60 fps NDI source on every machine on the network — ready for TouchDesigner, OBS, or any NDI receiver. WHAT YOU CAN DO NDI Depth Streaming Send the front TrueDepth or rear LiDAR feed over NDI in real time. Every depth mode — Environment, Face Detail, Raw, Point Cloud — runs on both cameras. 15 colormaps, raw depth, topographic banding, posterisation, depth clipping, and live HD upscale. Every setting changes the stream instantly. Sensors mode A full dashboard of ~40 on-device sensors. Enable the ones you need, preview each live, and stream them to TouchDesigner as clean OSC namespaces — ARKit body / hands / face, animal pose, QR / rectangle / text detection, saliency, scene classification, AR planes & mesh, 6DoF device pose, camera exposure, ambient & directional light, front/back distance, mic level, live audio FFT, on-device speech, sound ID, the full motion suite, AirPods head pose, Apple Watch heart rate, and NFC. Camera-based sensors also broadcast over NDI. Point Cloud Streaming to TouchDesigner (Pro) Send a real point cloud — up to 50,000 points, bit-exact XYZ + RGB — into TouchDesigner POP geometry over a fast local connection. The matching TouchDesigner operator family is linked from inside the app. Point Cloud Photos (Pro) Freeze the live LiDAR cloud into an interactive 3D "photo" and explore it from any angle — one finger to orbit, two to move, pinch to zoom. Tap the shutter to save a 3D model; hold it to record an orbit video. Re-open any capture, export to PLY for Blender or TouchDesigner, and save orbit videos to Photos. Raw Mode in Colour (Pro) 15 depth colour maps, each painting the depth field and drawing its own topographic contour lines, with adjustable line thickness and a global colour grade. Pro Features Point Cloud Photos, point-cloud streaming, raw topographic colour maps, HD upscale, extended LiDAR range, and the premium colormap pack, New Mesh Cloud mode. WHO IT'S FOR VJs running live visuals — a depth-aware camera and a sensor hub into Resolume or TouchDesigner in under a minute. Projection-mapping artists — drive masks and warps from real-world depth and motion, not a flat camera. AR / installation developers — prototype with ARKit body, face, and scene data straight into a TouchDesigner patch, no Xcode project required. Streamers + content creators — depth alpha mattes for cleaner subject keying in OBS, no green screen. WHY IT WORKS • Real NDI® Advanced SDK — full bandwidth, low latency, no transcoding hop. • On-device speech, audio, and vision — nothing leaves your network. • Built for live performance — every setting can change mid-show without dropping the stream. • No accounts, no telemetry, no analytics. Camera, microphone and sensor data stay on the phone or your local network. Period.

New: Mesh Cloud mode Scan a room or object with the LiDAR scanner and watch a live point cloud build on a black background as you move. When you're done, walk your scan in a full-screen 3D viewer — on-screen joystick to move, dial to zoom, swipe to look, and a recenter button to reframe. Clean it up like a mini point-cloud editor: box-select stray points and delete them, with undo/redo. Then export to PLY or send the whole cloud into TouchDesigner as POP geometry over a fast local connection. • Adjustable point density (quantization) up to 200,000 points • Live clean-up: remove floating points, keep the largest connected surface, highlight incomplete areas • Your finished scan is kept when you switch modes — jump back in and it reopens to the 3D viewer Also new: Point Cloud Motion FX Live, motion-driven effects on the LiDAR point cloud, right in the slide-up settings bar — trails, velocity colour, age-fade, sculpt, riptide, vanishing and gravity fall, plus Light Paint options. Everything updates as you drag. Improvements & fixes • New slide-up live settings bar for LiDAR/Depth (controls change the image as you drag) • Face "Detail" boosted (higher default + range) and depth-quality fixes (edge shadow on Face Detail, over-bright environment after a camera flip) • The old "AR Mesh" sensor is replaced by the new Mesh Cloud mode Mesh Cloud is a Pro feature and needs a LiDAR iPhone. Everything else — Sensors mode, Monocular Depth, point clouds in TouchDesigner, Point Cloud Photos, and NDI depth streaming — carries over.
