Descrição

Create 3D scans using the 3D camera (FaceID or LiDAR) of your iPhone 16, 16 Pro, 15, 15 Pro, 14, 14 Pro, 13, 13 Pro, 12, 12 Pro, 11, 11 Pro, XS, XR, X or iPad Pro! Export scans into STL, PLY, OBJ, USDZ, GLB (glTF), share them and more. On older devices, you can use the ordinary camera mode or the Screen Sharing feature.

This app is *PAID* up-front. Why is it free-to-download then? To protect people with unsupported devices from buying it (more details at the end).

Heges is divided into two modes:

= 3D Scanner (**PAID**, requires one-time In-App Purchase)
============================
- Available only for iPhones and iPad Pros with the selfie FaceID (TrueDepth) camera and/or LiDAR sensor as an In-App Purchase (Why? Read more at the bottom.)

- Create 3D models by scanning everyday objects
using the selfie TrueDepth camera (FaceID) and/or the rear LiDAR sensor

- After scanning, export the models into PLY, OBJ, USDZ (all with colors),
STL, GLB (both without colors) file formats

- Share exported models e.g. via built-in Wi-Fi server or
view them in the iOS Files app

- Use the physical volume buttons to toggle scanning session

- Double-tap anywhere in the live camera view to Share Screen with another iPhone/iPad,
so that you can better see what you're scanning

- View the models in AR

- You can scan in pitch-dark environment and use Heges as a night vision camera!

- Choose from the available scanning precisions — the higher
the precision, the shorter the scanner range

- To get the most accurate scans, you must use the selfie FaceID camera with 0.5MM Precision settings; do not use LiDAR if you need accurate scans

- The selfie FaceID camera is much more accurate than LiDAR (approx. one order of magnitude),
the models in the promo videos were scanned using the selfie FaceID camera of iPhone X

- Use the selfie FaceID camera for scanning fine details (up to 2 millimeters accuracy with FaceID and 0.5MM Precision settings)

- Use LiDAR for scanning large areas (e.g. houses, hallways, rooms, etc.), LiDAR is NOT suitable for scanning small objects with detail — use the selfie FaceID camera for this purpose

- Objects in scanner range are highlighted in the live view

- Switch to the passive Night Vision where there're no
explicit restrictions on the scanner range

Instructions for the 3D scanner:
- Move slowly when scanning

- Make sure that most of the captured scene is within
the scanner range

- Please read the FAQ at https://hege.sh/faq

The scanner isn't perfect and can fail when moving too fast or scanning a challenging environment (e.g. glass surfaces cannot be captured due to the nature of the TrueDepth sensor).

A NOTE FOR iPHONE 13, 14 and 15 (and newer) users: Beginning with the iPhone 13 lineup, Apple introduced a new TrueDepth (FaceID) camera design, which produces (slightly) lower-accuracy results compared to older devices.
To get best scan accuracy, consider using any iPhone 12 or older with FaceID.

= Color camera mode
============================
- Available for all devices

- Manual camera focus

- Sharing photos via built-in Wi-Fi server

= Why don't you make the app paid on the App Store? Why the annoying In-App Purchase?
============================

It's for protecting people with unsupported devices. (I wish I could make it paid directly on the App Store.)

Heges needs the 3D-sensing selfie FaceID camera to capture 3D scans. But not all iPhones/iPads have the FaceID camera, so the app needs to check if your device has FaceID before it allows you to buy the app.

The App Store does not allow developers to check if your iPhone/iPad has FaceID, so the only way to check is if you download and open the app. Once you open Heges on your device, it will check if your device is compatible and if isn't, then you will not be able to buy it.

If you have any questions just drop me an email at support@hege.sh and I'll be happy to help you :)!

Great idea

The idea is great, but i’m having some issues...
I’ve printed the XS max mount but it’s too heavy for it, so it doens’t stay in place...
It’s also difficult to rotate the support because it loses track of the object, even with the minimum precision and maximum range...
Do you plan updates for the app???

Hello adrianorcampos,
firstly, sorry for the late reply — I didn’t receive notification about new comment. I plan to release update(s) in summer (and probably also one at the beginning of the next month or earlier). Regarding the mount: unfortunately, I am not the designer of the mount — the mount(s) were made by fans and I have no control over them, please contact the mount designer in this regard.

If you have any questions or suggestions, just write me an email at support@hege.sh — I respond much faster via email than via iTunes comments (it takes about a day for a comment to appear).

Best regards,
Marek

Works but more work is needed

It totally works and I should say it’s better/faster than the small competition it has, but I’d love some more interface improvements and even more precision if available. Maybe also a spinning disk option and a sound feedback to keep yourself at the ideal distance while not looking at the screen.

Hello BikeSp, thank you for your review :). You can enable sound feedback/warning in the Settings section. If you have a secondary iPhone/iPad, then you can use the Screen Sharing feature to mirror the screen — that way, you will see what is being scanned on your primary iPhone/iPad. You can enable this feature by double-tapping anywhere in the live camera view. For more tips / feature overview, I recommend checking the FAQ at https://hege.sh/faq

And yes, I will indeed improve the UI/UX — currently, I am working on an overhaul update of the app with *many* significant improvements that will change the app from the ground up.

All the best,
Marek

Good app, works as advertised (but…)

Honestly this tool works great. Been using it with iPhone X and 11 to scan my son and the results are amazing.
BUT… it’s hard to use… probably more of a hardware limitation and having the screen towards the scanned object doesn’t help at all (there are adapters with mirrors, but I think the quality of the scan is worse). It requires A LOT of effort and smooth moves (specially if you’re scanning a kid with imaginary ants all over him/her). Depending on the scan, used to fill the holes easily with ZBrush, but I no longer have access to this tool. Filling the same holes in Blender is a pain…
I.e.: this app alone will provide a good 3D model, but complex shapes (like behind the ears with some hair covering it, or tight spots where you can’t point the camera) will require additional 3D modeling.
Don’t know if LiDar is better, it may be easier than using the FaceID camera, planning to upgrade my iPhone soon to find it out.
Just posted this review because I’ve noticed some 1 star reviews and would like to clarify that Heges works, but the quality of the 3D scan will depend directly on patience and effort you put in using the app. And some 3D modeling skills will help too.

Hello RafTGM, thank you very much for taking the time to write your review :)! Let me advise and warn you:

If you want scans with high geometric accuracy, then you should NOT use LiDAR. Despite what many people think, LiDAR provides extremely low quality geometry (if you scan a face with LiDAR, the face will literally look like a potato, without any facial features). FaceID is the clear winner here.

I also need to warn you about the whole iPhone 13 lineup: Apple decreased the accuracy of the selfie FaceID camera of the iPhone 13 (and also the Pro models). It is also more noisy. If you scan something with an iPhone 13 (Pro), there will not be as much detail in the scan as if you made the scan using any older iPhone. So even the 4 year old iPhone X produces better quality scans than the iPhone 13 Pro!

The iPhone 12 (Pro / non-Pro) was the last iPhone with the "good old" selfie FaceID camera.

And in my purely personal opinion, the iPhone XS was the best iPhone ever.

To address the issues you mentioned: I am working to fix exactly the issues you described — the fix will be included in a big overhaul update of Heges.

Feel free to drop me an email at support@hege.sh and I can send you screenshots of the models scanned using the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone X for comparison.

All the best,
Marek
