Description
Turn an iPhone Pro into a road inspection tool. On-device AI and LiDAR measure pothole depth, area and fill volume, with 3D models, GPS records and PDF/CSV exports. Standalone scans work offline. First 100 scans free; Pro adds unlimited scans and watermark-free reports. Requires a LiDAR-equipped iPhone.

Could you build this?
Partial While an iOS app reading ARKit LiDAR depth buffers is straightforward, generating accurate volumetric asphalt calculations and reliable 3D road meshing requires specialized computer vision and spatial geometry expertise.
What it would actually take: The app needs Swift with ARKit, Metal, and SceneKit/RealityKit, processing point cloud data to establish a ground baseline plane, computing depth differentials for volume estimation, and running local CoreML models to segment pothole boundaries in varying road textures and lighting conditions.
