3D LiDAR Spatial Camera

December 15, 2025

The Share C1 Personal 3D LiDAR Spatial Camera is a handheld scanning device designed to bridge the gap between expensive industrial surveyors and consumer-grade photography. While traditional cameras capture flat, two-dimensional images, the Share C1 captures the shape, depth, and physical dimensions of a space alongside the visual color. It is built for creators, architects, and hobbyists who want to create digital twins of real-world environments, such as a living room, a construction site, or a historical building. The device is compact enough to be carried in a bag but powerful enough to scan large areas with high precision.

At the core of the Share C1 is LiDAR technology, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging. This is the same type of sensor used in self-driving cars to see the road. The camera spins a laser sensor 360 degrees at high speed, firing invisible beams of light that bounce off walls, furniture, and objects. By measuring how long it takes for the light to return, the device calculates the exact distance to every surface. It captures up to 200,000 of these data points every second. Simultaneously, dual wide-angle optical cameras capture color information. The system combines the laser depth data with the color images to create a colored point cloud, which is a digital 3D model made of millions of tiny, colored dots that represent the scanned area with accuracy better than one centimeter.
