Heges 3D Scanner Overview


What is Heges 3D Scanner?

Heges is a 3D scanning app that allows users to create 3D scans using the 3D camera of their iPhone or iPad Pro. The app is available for download for free, but it requires a one-time in-app purchase to access the 3D scanner mode. The app is designed to work with devices that have a TrueDepth camera and/or LiDAR sensor. The app allows users to export scans into various file formats, including STL, PLY, OBJ, and GLB (glTF). The app also allows users to share their scans and view them in AR.



Features


- 3D Scanner mode (requires one-time in-app purchase)

- Available for iPhone X, XS, XS Max, XR, 11, 11 Pro, 12, 12 Pro, 13, 13 Pro, 14, 14 Pro and iPad Pro with TrueDepth camera and/or LiDAR sensor

- Create 3D models by scanning everyday objects using the selfie TrueDepth camera (FaceID) and/or the rear LiDAR sensor

- Export models into PLY, OBJ, STL, GLB file formats

- Share exported models via built-in Wi-Fi server or view them in the iOS Files app

- Use physical volume buttons to toggle scanning session

- Double-tap anywhere in the live camera view to Share Screen with another iPhone/iPad

- View models in AR

- Scan in pitch-dark environment and use Heges as a night vision camera

- Choose from available scanning precisions

- Use selfie FaceID camera for scanning fine details

- Use LiDAR for scanning large areas

- Objects in scanner range are highlighted in the live view

- Switch to passive Night Vision

- Color camera mode available for all devices

- Manual camera focus

- Protects people with unsupported devices by checking for FaceID compatibility before allowing in-app purchase

- FAQ available at https://hege.sh/faq

Product Details and Description of



Create 3D scans using the 3D camera (FaceID or LiDAR) of your iPhone 14, 14 Pro, 13, 13 Pro, 12, 12 Pro, 11, 11 Pro, XS, XR, X or iPad Pro! Export scans into STL, PLY, OBJ, GLB (glTF), share them and more. On older devices, you can use the ordinary camera mode or the Screen Sharing feature. This app is *PAID* up-front. Why is it free-to-download then? To protect people with unsupported devices from buying it (more details at the bottom of this text). Heges is divided into two modes: = 3D Scanner (**PAID**, requires one-time In-App Purchase) ============================ - Available only for the iPhone X, XS, XS Max, XR, 11, 11 Pro, 12, 12 Pro, 13, 13 Pro, 14, 14 Pro and iPad Pro with TrueDepth camera and/or LiDAR sensor as an In-App Purchase (Why? Read more at the bottom.) - Create 3D models by scanning everyday objects using the selfie TrueDepth camera (FaceID) and/or the rear LiDAR sensor - After scanning, export the models into PLY, OBJ (both with colors), STL, GLB (both without colors) file formats - Share exported models e.g. via built-in Wi-Fi server or view them in the iOS Files app - Use the physical volume buttons to toggle scanning session - Double-tap anywhere in the live camera view to Share Screen with another iPhone/iPad, so that you can better see what you're scanning - View the models in AR - You can scan in pitch-dark environment and use Heges as a night vision camera! - Choose from the available scanning precisions — the higher the precision, the shorter the scanner range - To get the most accurate scans, you must use the selfie FaceID camera with 0.5MM Precision settings; do not use LiDAR if you need accurate scans - The selfie FaceID camera is much more accurate than LiDAR (approx. one order of magnitude), the models in the promo videos were scanned using the selfie FaceID camera of iPhone X - Use the selfie FaceID camera for scanning fine details (up to 2 millimeters accuracy with FaceID and 0.5MM Precision settings) - Use LiDAR for scanning large areas (e.g. houses, hallways, rooms, etc.), LiDAR is NOT suitable for scanning small objects with detail — use the selfie FaceID camera for this purpose - Objects in scanner range are highlighted in the live view - Switch to the passive Night Vision where there're no explicit restrictions on the scanner range Instructions for the 3D scanner: - Move slowly when scanning - Make sure that most of the captured scene is within the scanner range - Please read the FAQ at https://hege.sh/faq The scanner isn't perfect and can fail when moving too fast or scanning a challenging environment (e.g. glass surfaces cannot be captured due to the nature of the TrueDepth sensor). A NOTE FOR iPHONE 13 and 14 USERS: The iPhone 13 and 14 lineups introduced new TrueDepth (FaceID) camera designs, which produce lower-accuracy results compared to older devices. To get best scan accuracy, consider using any iPhone 12 or older with FaceID. = Color camera mode ============================ - Available for all devices - Manual camera focus - Sharing photos via built-in Wi-Fi server = Why don't you make the app paid on the App Store? Why the annoying In-App Purchase? ============================ It's for protecting people with unsupported devices. (I wish I could make it paid directly on the App Store.) Heges needs the 3D-sensing selfie FaceID camera to be able to capture 3D scans. But not all iPhones/iPads have the FaceID camera, so the app needs to check if your device has FaceID before it allows you to buy the app. The App Store does not allow developers to check if your iPhone/iPad has FaceID, so the only way to check is if you download and open the app. Once you open Heges on your device, it will check if your device is compatible and if isn't, then you will not be able to buy it. If you have any questions just drop me an email at [email protected] and I'll be happy to help you :)!

Hands down the best one on App Store

I don’t generally review things, but I literally tried and bought every scan app on the App Store, and this one is by far the best. The biggest complaint I had about the other apps is that you had to go super slow and be extra steady when scanning or you would instantly lose tracking. This apps tracking is good enough that you can move at a pretty brisk pace (within reason for 3D scanning of course) and it doesn’t skip a beat. Also most other apps lose tracking if you have your phone stationary and are moving the object in place, such as on a turn table. Never had an issue with that using Hedges. And for the small one time fee, it makes it even better since not only does it scan faster and more accurate, you don’t have to pay a subscription to save your scans, like most other apps. Definitely worth the small fee in my opinion.

Great mobile 3d scanner!

I’ve used it with my CNC machine to carve some wood selfies. I’ve also used it to capture wood carvings and fixtures from antiques. With a little practice and a steady hand, I can capture the fine detail, load the .stl into Blender and clean it up. I save the clean .stl and import it into my cnc software for cutting the wood. This would be a great tool and process for anyone with a 3d printer, also. I wish there. Was a way to see my screen while I’m scanning though. Someone mentioned a selfie stick with a 3d gyro as a way to steady the camera. Great app when I’m on the go and see something that catches my eye for a model. Keep up the good work and thanks for app. Update: I have since printed an attachment with my 3D printer. Amazing what you can image with a mirror. My favorite app on my phone.

Good Quality Scans, the problem is it re-destructs.

I think the problem people are having is that it doesnt include a sort if confidence threshold so that previously scanned surfaces are reinforced and improved in attributes rather than destroyed and malformed by a new layer. Maybe its positioning related. Please add mirror mode. This is the best HD lidar scanner that uses the truedepth camera AKA the better lidar sensor This appears to offer higher resolution results than most options. It DOES value your privacy and WONT sell your data, which I can’t speak for other apps. I’ve noticed that the tracking of objects; especially when scanning a face — is waaaay more accurate than most LiDar scanner available currently.
