Capture any sitewith the phone in your pocket
WaveForm Field turns an iPhone Pro into a metrology-grade capture rig. Walk the site, watch the coverage heatmap fill in, and let the platform reconstruct a georeferenced 3D snapshot. Works offline; syncs when you're back on signal.
Why a native app
Browser capture can’t touch raw LiDAR. Field can.
Raw LiDAR + depth
Samples the iPhone ToF sensor at frame rate alongside RGB, pose, and IMU — exactly what reconstruction needs.
Live coverage heatmap
Surfaces turn green as you cover them, so you never leave a site with thin data.
In-field QA
Blur detection + frame-budget overlay warn you in real time, before you walk away.
Offline-first
Finish a capture with no signal. Bundles queue locally and upload opportunistically — surviving app restarts and bad cell.
Device-signed bundles
Each phone has a unique key; the server only accepts captures it can prove came from your device.
Georegistered
GPS + ARKit world-tracking anchor every capture to the same frame as your satellite and drone data.
Requirements
- iPhone Pro (12 Pro or newer) or recent iPad Pro — anything with rear-facing LiDAR.
- iOS 16+ (uses ARKit + RealityKit features added in 16).
- A WaveForm account — same login as the web app.
