PlaceMesh + PlaceMesh Viewer 

PlaceMesh connects iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro for local spatial capture, USDZ placement, mesh review, QR-based shared coordinates, and user-controlled export.

Capture surfaces in AR, build a mesh overlay, load real USDZ models, measure from the captured mesh origin, and review the same spatial scene in Apple Vision Pro.

PlaceMesh is the iOS capture and placement app. It collects AR points, builds a mesh overlay, loads and positions USDZ models, measures the distance from the captured mesh center to the selected USDZ center, and exports or shares the resulting scene files.
PlaceMesh Viewer is the Apple Vision Pro companion. It displays the same type of scene content in a window or immersive space, receives marker-relative content from iOS, and can send its own loaded USDZ or captured content back to iOS AR.
The paired workflow uses the PairingQRMarker as a physical shared reference. When both devices recognize the same marker, PlaceMesh can send mesh, point, generated USDZ, loaded USDZ, and transform data in marker-relative coordinates so iOS AR and visionOS immersive content can visually coincide around the same physical reference.
The apps are positioned as visualization, review, training, education, design communication, and local spatial documentation tools. They are not medical diagnostic tools, surveying instruments, construction-certification systems, or safety-critical measurement products.

PlaceMesh is a local AR capture and spatial review tool for iPhone and iPad.

Use the camera and AR tracking to collect surface points, create a mesh overlay, load and place USDZ models, measure the distance between the captured mesh center and a loaded USDZ, and export mesh/point/USDZ files for review. PlaceMesh can also connect to PlaceMesh Viewer on Apple Vision Pro for marker-relative shared coordinates.

Key features:

Collect AR points inside a visible capture area.
Convert point captures into a smooth mesh overlay.
Load and position original USDZ models.
Measure distance from the captured mesh 0,0,0 center to the selected USDZ center.
Export share-ready ZIP packages.
Use AirDrop, ShareLink, Save to Files, or paired-device transfer.
Show a PairingQRMarker to iPhone/iPad and Apple Vision Pro to align both devices around the same physical reference.
Press Match & Sync to send mesh, point, generated USDZ, loaded USDZ, and placement transform data in marker-relative coordinates.

PlaceMesh is designed for local review workflows. It does not require an account or cloud project. The user controls capture, import, export, sharing, and paired transfer.

Suitable uses include field visualization, construction review, design communication, training, education, product placement, spatial documentation, and local AR-to-immersive comparison.

PlaceMesh is a visualization and review tool. It does not certify construction tolerances, structural safety, medical diagnosis, treatment, legal compliance, or measurement-critical decisions.

PlaceMesh Viewer is the Apple Vision Pro companion for PlaceMesh.

It receives marker-relative mesh, point, USDZ, and placement data from PlaceMesh on iPhone or iPad and displays the content in a window or immersive space. When both devices recognize the same PairingQRMarker, the viewer can align its immersive content with the same physical reference used by the iOS AR app.

Key features:

View PlaceMesh scene captures in Apple Vision Pro.
Open immersive space for aligned review.
Show the green PairingQRMarker surface and XYZ axes at the recognized marker center.
Receive mesh, point cloud, generated USDZ, loaded USDZ, and placement transforms from iOS.
Send loaded USDZ and captured Vision content back to iOS AR.
Use Align + Send All to AR to share immersive content while preserving the local Vision copy.
Use a yellow-box Vision Capture workflow to capture bounded scene mesh content.
Export, share, and review local scene packages.

PlaceMesh Viewer is designed for local review, design communication, construction visualization, training, education, and immersive spatial comparison. It does not require a cloud account.

PlaceMesh Apple Vision Pro Connectivity Guide

Two-app workflow

PlaceMesh now ships as two apps:

PlaceMesh on iPhone or iPad for capture and preparation.
PlaceMesh Viewer on Apple Vision Pro for connected review.

How connectivity is achieved

The live connection is achieved with MultipeerConnectivity and Bonjour on the local network or peer-to-peer radio path.

The handheld app now hosts automatically, Apple Vision Pro reconnects automatically, and scene updates are shared automatically as the capture changes. That payload can include the sync role, registered points, optional mesh, shared world transform, bundled QR marker state, and available USDZ data.

Real-time review in Apple Vision Pro

Once connected, PlaceMesh Viewer updates its control window in real time with connection state, peer lists, received role, point count, triangle count, selected USDZ item, and shared-origin status.

The immersive view updates from the same synced model and shows origin markers, mesh content, sampled point-cloud review, and the active USDZ scene.

Recommended iPhone / iPad → Apple Vision Pro flow

Open PlaceMesh on iPhone or iPad. The handheld app now starts as the automatic capture source and advertises nearby.
Open PlaceMesh Viewer on Apple Vision Pro. The headset now reconnects automatically as the nearby receiver.
Show or print one bundled QR marker and let both devices recognize that same printed marker.
The handheld app sends its local marker pose through the nearby link while Apple Vision Pro tracks that same printed marker locally.
When both marker observations are available, the apps rebuild the shared transform so the received points, mesh, and active placed USDZ scene stay in the same referenced place.
Inspect the received content in the control window or immersive space.

Hybrid 3D Connect marker

The bundled QR markers are not the transport mechanism by themselves. The actual transport still uses the Paired Viewing / Connection controls and the local sync session, while the shared-marker observations are used to rebuild the same referenced transform on both devices.

Privacy, safety, and limits

The paired workflow is local and user controlled in this build. It does not require an account or developer cloud service. A user can still intentionally share or export files through Apple system controls, and those files are then governed by the destination chosen by the user.

PlaceMesh Viewer is for visualization, placement review, field notes, education, research, and spatial communication. It is not a certified surveying, structural engineering, safety inspection, medical diagnosis, medical treatment, or code-compliance system.

Automatic PairingQRMarker shared origin

Both sides send throttled marker-pose beacons when the same bundled PairingQRMarker / QRMarker is detected. Each receiver computes local marker × inverse(remote marker) so the other device's scene can be mapped into the current local AR or immersive world. This creates a virtual shared origin without requiring a manual Auto Match step.

Visual confirmation: QR-L and QR-R indicate marker recognition, ALIGN indicates that the shared coordinate reference is active, and the mesh overlay turns green when the scene is being shown through that shared reference.

The workflow aligns visualization only. It does not provide certified surveying, construction compliance, clearance verification, structural validation, safety inspection, or medical measurement.

— PairingQRMarker marker-relative shared coordinates

PlaceMesh now uses the uploaded PairingQRMarker image as the visible marker preview asset and AR reference image. The shared-coordinate workflow now combines throttled QR beacons with marker-relative scene payloads: when the sender sees the marker, points, mesh vertices, and placed USDZ transforms are converted into PairingQRMarker space; the receiver rebuilds them as localWorldFromPairingQRMarker × markerRelativeScen

Why PlaceMesh Is Useful

PlaceMesh helps users connect real spaces, captured surfaces, and 3D USDZ models in one practical AR and immersive workflow. It is designed for people who need to see, compare, place, measure, export, and share spatial information without depending on a cloud account or a complicated external pipeline.

PlaceMesh on iPhone and iPad captures AR points, builds a mesh overlay, loads USDZ models, measures distance from the captured mesh center, and exports share-ready files. PlaceMesh Viewer on Apple Vision Pro extends the same workflow into immersive space, allowing the user to review captured meshes and loaded USDZ content at larger scale and with better spatial context.

The most important advantage is the PairingQRMarker shared-coordinate workflow. When both devices recognize the same PairingQRMarker, PlaceMesh can use that marker as a common spatial reference. The green marker surface and XYZ axes show the recognized origin. Then, with Match & Sync, meshes, points, generated USDZ files, loaded USDZ files, and placement transforms can be exchanged between iOS AR and Apple Vision Pro immersive space in marker-relative coordinates.

This makes PlaceMesh useful when a user wants the iPhone/iPad AR view and the Vision Pro immersive view to show the same spatial content in the same coordinate logic.

PlaceMesh turns iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro into a connected spatial review workflow. Capture AR points, build mesh overlays, load USDZ models, measure from the mesh origin, align devices with a PairingQRMarker, and share or export the result.

Website Section: What PlaceMesh Does

PlaceMesh is a local spatial workflow for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro.

On iPhone and iPad, PlaceMesh can collect AR points, show red capture markers, create a smooth mesh overlay, import USDZ models, place them in AR, measure the distance from the captured mesh center, and export the result.

On Apple Vision Pro, PlaceMesh Viewer can open an immersive space, display the same spatial content, show aligned marker references, review loaded USDZ files, and send content back to the iOS AR view.

Together, the apps create a practical bridge between handheld AR capture and immersive spatial review.

Why It Matters

Many spatial workflows are difficult because the real world, the 3D model, and the review device do not share the same reference point. PlaceMesh addresses this by using a PairingQRMarker as a shared physical anchor.

When both devices recognize the same marker, PlaceMesh shows:

a flat green marker surface,
XYZ axes at the marker center,
QR-L, QR-R, and ALIGN status,
marker-relative mesh and USDZ placement,
synchronized content between iOS AR and Vision Pro immersive space.

This makes it easier to explain where a model belongs, where a captured surface is located, and how the same spatial content appears across devices.

Core Benefits

1. Capture real-world context

Use iPhone or iPad to collect AR points from a visible surface. PlaceMesh shows red collection spheres while capturing, then converts the capture into a mesh overlay.

2. Place and review USDZ models

Load USDZ files from Files, place them in AR, bring them in front of the camera, center them on the captured mesh, adjust their position, and review their relationship to the captured environment.

3. Measure from the mesh origin

PlaceMesh shows distance from the captured mesh 0,0,0 center to the selected USDZ center. It also supports live transform information for movement and rotation.

4. Align with Apple Vision Pro

Use the same PairingQRMarker on both devices. When the marker is recognized, PlaceMesh can exchange content in shared marker-relative coordinates.

5. Export and share

Export mesh, point, placement, and USDZ data as share-ready files. Use Share, AirDrop, Save to Files, ShareLink, or paired-device transfer.

6. Work locally

The workflow is designed around local processing and user-controlled sharing. No account is required in the current build.
