LiDAR Scanning vs Radar
Developers should learn LiDAR scanning when working on projects involving spatial data, 3D modeling, or autonomous systems, such as self-driving cars, robotics, or augmented reality applications meets developers should learn and use radar when building ios or macos applications that require location-based functionality, such as ride-sharing apps, fitness trackers, or local business finders, to enhance user experience with real-time geolocation features. Here's our take.

LiDAR Scanning
Nice PickDevelopers should learn LiDAR scanning when working on projects involving spatial data, 3D modeling, or autonomous systems, such as self-driving cars, robotics, or augmented reality applications
Pros
- +It's essential for tasks requiring accurate environmental mapping, object detection, and terrain analysis, offering advantages over traditional methods like photogrammetry in terms of precision and performance in low-light conditions
- +Related to: point-cloud-processing, autonomous-vehicles
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Radar
Developers should learn and use Radar when building iOS or macOS applications that require location-based functionality, such as ride-sharing apps, fitness trackers, or local business finders, to enhance user experience with real-time geolocation features
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for implementing geofencing to trigger actions when users enter or exit specific areas, and for ensuring privacy compliance through Apple's user consent mechanisms
- +Related to: core-location, ios-development
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use LiDAR Scanning if: You want it's essential for tasks requiring accurate environmental mapping, object detection, and terrain analysis, offering advantages over traditional methods like photogrammetry in terms of precision and performance in low-light conditions and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Radar if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable for implementing geofencing to trigger actions when users enter or exit specific areas, and for ensuring privacy compliance through apple's user consent mechanisms over what LiDAR Scanning offers.
