Ah, gotcha, I was only half watching so I misunderstood. Thanks for the clarification.
well, the video is peak youtube, 19 minutes where the first 9 minutes are completely irrelevant, followed by 6 minutes of repetitive content, then the interesting part that made us click is just 30 seconds, followed by an irrelevant conclusion. It's more an ad for those two companies that lent the lidar than actual road safety test
Idk, as a reformed Disney nerd in my youth, I thought the section about Space Mountain was cool as hell, even if it was only tangentially related to the rest of the video.
Yes absolutely interesting and weirdly he put way more effort on the "irrelevant" part of the video (I don't think that the lidar cloud automatically becomes a 3d printable object, especially as perfect as shown in the video, with uniform and smooth rail tracks, usually that's a painstaking manual step)
I didn't think the video was suggesting it automatically became a 3D object, just that lidar was used to map out the ride in a 3D space.
