Folks, this may just be the Holy Grail of field measurement, and object scanning. Stunning stuff - if it works as advertised.

Here's the description: https://blog.sketchup.com/article/meet-canvas-3d-home-scanning-everyone

And a short video showing the basics:

The purchase requires a compatible iPad (they recommend the 9.7" iPad Pro, which is $600) and includes the required hardware and software for $400.

Here's a review of the hardware:

Okay, more information - the company does the 3D model to CAD conversion for you, at a cost of $29 / room, and this takes up to 48 hours.

Interesting. It would be great to hear individual's experience with using this device.
