Description
Stream real-time depth data from your iPhone's TrueDepth sensor directly to TouchDesigner via NDI.
TDLidar captures the front-facing TrueDepth camera's depth map and broadcasts it as an NDI video source on your local network. TouchDesigner, Notch, and any NDI-compatible software can receive the stream instantly — no cables, no complex setup.
FEATURES: • Real-time TrueDepth depth capture from the front camera • NDI streaming over Wi-Fi — auto-discovered by TouchDesigner • 16-bit depth precision encoded across R/G channels • Adjustable depth range (2m, 3m, 5m, 8m) • Configurable frame rate (15, 24, 30 fps) • Multiple depth resolution options • Live camera preview with stream status • Optimized for low power consumption
HOW IT WORKS:
Open TDLidar and grant camera + local network permissions
Tap "Start NDI" to begin streaming
In TouchDesigner, add an NDI In TOP — "TDLidar" appears automatically
Use the included GLSL shader to decode depth values
DEPTH ENCODING: Depth values (in meters) are encoded as 16-bit precision across the Red (high byte) and Green (low byte) channels of the NDI video stream. Reconstruct in TouchDesigner with: depth = (R × 256 + G) / 65535 × maxRange
REQUIREMENTS:
• iPhone X or later (TrueDepth camera required)
• iOS 18.6 or later
• Wi-Fi network (same network as your computer)
• TouchDesigner or any NDI-compatible receiver
Built for media artists, creative coders, and VJs who want to bring real-time 3D depth data into their TouchDesigner projects.
What's New in Version 2.0
- Environment and Face Detail encoding pipelines rebuilt with Apple Accelerate (vDSP) — vectorized SIMD operations replace per-pixel scalar loops for normalization, contrast, brightness, and clipping
- Temporal smoothing uses hardware-accelerated exponential moving average (EMA) blending via vDSP_vintb
- NDI frame rate metadata now dynamically matches your configured FPS for correct timing in downstream receivers
- New loading screen on startup
- Dark mode interface for better visibility during use
- Cleaner settings design with improved button styling
- Live pulse indicator when streaming
