Lidar Component - Mini Map (Basic)

No ratings yet

A lightweight LiDAR sensor simulation for Unity featuring a CPU-based raycast backend, scan patterns, and radar visualization. P.S. Underpriced on purpose. I like coffee and fair entry points.

About this asset

The LiDAR Component– Basic Package provides a real-time LiDAR sensor simulation built specifically for Unity. It enables developers to simulate realistic LiDAR scans using CPU-based raycasting, visualize sensor output through a radar-style minimap, and filter detections at the sensor level using layers and scan rings.

The system is designed with a clean, modular architecture that separates sensing, processing, and visualization. This allows the LiDAR data to be reused across different consumers such as HUDs, analytics tools, or future robotics integrations.

While the Basic package focuses on reliability and ease of use, the architecture is intentionally Pro-ready. Advanced features such as GPU backends, hardware ray tracing, occupancy grids, and ROS publishers are planned as optional Pro extensions without breaking the existing API.

This package is ideal for:

  • Game developers needing sensor-based perception
  • Simulation and AI prototyping
  • Robotics concept demonstrations without ROS complexity
  • Educational and research visualization

From the publisher's Asset Store listing.
