Apple has introduced RoomPlan, a new Swift API for creating 3D floor plans using your iPhone's camera and LiDAR scanner.
Powered by ARKit, RoomPlan is a new Swift API that utilizes the camera and LiDAR Scanner on iPhone and iPad to create a 3D floor plan of a room, including key characteristics such as dimensions and types of furniture.
Engage customers, streamline workflows
Help customers make more informed decisions by using RoomPlan to create a floor plan of a room directly in your apps, such as real estate, e-commerce, or hospitality apps. These scans can also be the first step in architecture and interior design workflows to help streamline conceptual exploration and planning.
Real-time scanning with LiDAR
Completely customize your app's user experience and scan guidance, or utilize the built-in coaching UI for optimal scans, visual feedback illustrating real-time scanning progress, and a dollhouse visualization that shows everything in the room that has been recognized.
Parametric representation
RoomPlan outputs in USD or USDZ file formats that include dimensions of each component recognized in the room, such as walls or cabinets, as well as the type of furniture detected. The dimensions and placement of each individual component can be further adjusted when exported into various USDZ-compatible tools, such as Cinema 4D, Shapr3D, or AutoCAD.
Developers can learn more about RoomPlan at the link below and in the "Create parametric 3D room scans with RoomPlan" video that Apple has posted for WWDC 2022.
