Spatial Memory Scanner

A spatial-memory experiment that uses LiDAR to capture environments as persistent 3D memories — designed to let people return to and re-experience places they have scanned.

A spatial-computing concept built around the LiDAR scanner already in the iPhone: capture a real environment as geometry, store it, and treat it as a memory rather than a scan file.

The interesting part was never the capture. It was persistence — what it feels like to walk back into a room you recorded months ago, at the scale you recorded it, and move through it again.

On hold. The capture side works well enough to be convincing; the question of what a captured place is actually for is the part still open.
