TikTok’s official Twitter account announced that the new version of the App can use the LiDAR lidar on the iPhone 12 Pro series mobile phones to realize AR special effects videos.
According to the video show, this feature can add extremely realistic special effects to the screen, and the landing position of the colored paper can accurately cover the floor and sofa surface, just like in reality.

This benefits from the modeling function of LiDAR lidar, which can use the emitted laser to measure distances and obtain spatial information of different objects in the environment to establish a 3D model.
