Unity3d LiDAR - How To Use AR LiDAR With Classifications, Occlusion, And Normals?

Today I give you an overview of Unity's AR Foundation Samples repository in GitHub where I show you the results of 3 of their demo scenes. The demo scenes included provide features for AR LiDAR classifications, AR LiDAR Occlusion, and lastly AR LiDAR Normals.
The code shown in this code can be downloaded from:
github.com/Unity-Technologies...

Hi, thanks for all the great videos. Do you know why for Meshing the ARPlaneManager component is used on the ARSessionOrigin Object?

[@tompainter7167]

hi dilmer, firstly thanks so much for your work generally it has REALLY helped me move fast with implementing things. I have a question, the unity ARfoundation samples seem to use the non-URP rendering to handle occlusion, but that rendering system seems like it should be the way of the past by now? I think URP should be the default way to work now the shader graph is so much better, but I can't find much info on how to get occlusion working with URP, found a GitHub shader online that didn't work it just received shadows but didn't occlude things.cheers

Hi, i'm looking for more tutorials or something because i want to checking how's work LIDAR, do you know where i can find more helps for this?

[@minhdungdo4541]

Hi Dilmer, Have been a subcriber from your channel for a long time and always appreciate the video that you create. May I ask, could you suggest me a way to improve the detail of the 3D mesh generated from LiDAR? The scan is looking very nice however I would like to improve it a little bit more (can scan more detail and reduce noises) Another thing, I would like to implement a raycast from the AR Camera to the mesh and select a position. Any tip or trick would be really appreciated or perhaps a video I think will also be a good content. I hope to hearing from you soon. Thank you very much.

How accurate is the AR tool at measuring walls? Said another way, if you were to use this to scan walls to quickly understand total wall surface area (instead of taking out a standard measuring tap)?

[@dilmerv]

It can be as accurate as the scan result is, meaning that the better the scan the better the accuracy of the measurements. This could factor lighting, distance from the wall, time spent in measuring process. I would say try it and I am sure it can give you very accurate results.

Has anyone had any luck trying to incorporate a live lidar stream in to unity?

[@eshanverma1496]

Hi Are there any outdoor mesh classification avail

[@dilmerv]

No with AR Foundation but yes with Lightship ARDK :)

[@mikevandernoordt4507]

Cool! Is it possible to save the scanned mesh for later use?

[@dilmerv]

It is possible, I am prototyping a unity demo and will release a video as soon as I have it done ! Thanks for your feedback :)

[@mikevandernoordt4507]

@@dilmerv Cheers bro! Looking forward to it!!

[@dilmerv]

Thank you Mike !

[@ybouz]

@@dilmerv that's great to hear! Can we expect it sometime soon? Working on something similar at the moment! Thanks

[@karannakum9609]

Bro it will work with lidar sensors using arduino?

[@dilmerv]

Out of the box is not, however AR Foundation is built in a way that it can provide native plugins for meshing in different platforms, I believe you would need to create your own plugin to make this work with arduino.

[@racereview1679]

Does this work with URP???

[@dilmerv]

Absolutely it works with URP as well

[@marcinchilik9671]

What Lidar do you use?

[@dilmerv]

I use the one in the iPad Pro 11 (2020)

[@marcinchilik9671]

@@dilmerv great thanks. I was wondering if there is any sensor that would work with this library other that Ipad. This would be super cool for other devices.
