Lidar potential uses in Shapr3D

I’m dying to see the new Shapr3D update in iPadOS 14 to allow in-app lidar scanning and modeling. I see in the commercial that instant floor plans are one of the potential uses, but I am wondering about the accuracy and scale possibilities for other uses, such as scanning people and objects to create a CAD model of them, to scanning super large rooms for use for modeling for VR. What can I expect to see, based on the current iPadOS 14 beta APIs, and the lidar camera’s hardware?
