Apple’s video recording app ‘Clips’ is updated with 7 fun AR Spaces to transform rooms using LiDAR scanner

The video recording app ‘Clips’ has been updated to version 3.1 with new AR effects. Exclusively designed for iPhone 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, and iPad Pro (2020) or later, the app now offers a whole new augmented reality experience using the devices’ LiDAR scanner to record visually aesthetic and entertaining videos.

After introducing the LiDAR scanner in iPad Pro in 2020, Apple released the advanced scanning technology in iPhone 12 Pro models later that year to offer users a realistic AR experience in the palm of their hands. LiDAR scanner measures the duration light takes to reflect back from objects to create a depth map in an ultrafast and accurate manner. And using that technology, the updated Clips app enables users to transform their rooms or surroundings with seven new realistic effects.
