- How about self-body scanning for dating apps? You can add it on your profile as a "LiDAR 3d-model" bonus so interested parties know they're not getting catfished. Yeah, you can always scan your hot friend, but it just requires another level of deception.

- How about a "night-vision" app? Without needing a flashlight, you can stumble around a dark room (maybe outdoors at night?) without running into walls.

The iPad screen would act like a flashlight, just you'd be pointing it at your face instead of at the world.

At least you can rest assured that Elon Musk will never send one of these…

Just pray it can't interface with a 3D printer.
