Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

WATT-IF uses LiDAR capture to turn a film location into a lighting-responsive 3D scene for testing fixtures, estimating light, and exporting a crew-ready set plan.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

WATT-IF models a location from a LiDAR capture made through three camera-height loops, then sends the reconstruction through cloud processing before fixture planning begins. Its export layer is unusually concrete: a crew can receive a Set Plan PDF, Recipe PNG, Gear CSV, or Digital Twin JSON. The page also separates the verified iOS path from Android’s internal beta and warns that exposure and electrical decisions still require professional tools and qualified crew.
