There’s a number of options and I was a bit overwhelmed, is there a comprehensive write up, copypasta, or something of the like?

    Some of the newer iPhones feature a LIDAR scanner and there are store apps that can use it to scan too

      LIDAR sucks, accuracy wise. If you want accuracy, and hate yourself, then you need an iPhone XR/XS because that was the generation with the most accurate FaceID (for whatever reason). Or go photogrammetry, the LIDAR can help but isn’t the main thing there… this is both free and great. With a Mac you can get the data processed faster, or it can be done (paid) via cloud, or with less accuracy and a bit of patience, on device. It’s not going to be a professional solution, but depending on the task it works and chances are the hardware is already there :)

        I have no experience with it, but this is why I’ve mentioned it - for ma y the hardware is already there, or they can upgrade to it and enjoy the additional benefit;)
