There's something truly magical about pointing your phone at a tree and watching as it instantly calculates the diameter. This is the reality with the latest update to our Arboreal Forest app, which now harnesses the power of LiDAR technology found in iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max models.

LiDAR: Precision at Your Fingertips

The LiDAR sensors in compatible iPhones measure the distance to 49000 points in the surrounding environment. Our app cleverly uses this data to detect the edges of trees and calculate their diameter with impressive accuracy. It's like having a high-tech forestry tool right in your pocket!

Comprehensive Forest Measurements

But the Arboreal Forest app doesn't stop at diameters. It's a complete digital forestry toolkit that measures:

  • Diameters
  • Basal area
  • Trees per hectare
  • Tree height
  • Volumes

This wealth of data allows for quick and accurate forest inventories, making it an invaluable tool for foresters, researchers, and woodland owners alike.

Not Just for LiDAR-Enabled Devices

Don't have an iPhone with LiDAR? No problem! The Arboreal Forest app also works on phones without LiDAR sensors. In these cases, it utilizes the device's camera to take measurements, ensuring that a wide range of users can benefit from this technology.

Experience It Yourself

We're excited about the potential of this technology to streamline forest management and inventory processes. But don't just take our word for it – we encourage you to experience the magic yourself!

The Arboreal Forest app is available for download on the App Store. Whether you're a forestry professional or simply curious about the trees in your local park, this app offers a new way to interact with and understand our forest environments.

Download the Arboreal Forest app today and step into the future of forestry technology. We can't wait to hear about your experiences with this revolutionary tool!
