I've got an .arobject file using the ARKit Scanner App. I want to convert this file into an usdz file because I want to see this object from Safari browser.

Does anyone know how to do it?

At the moment there are no official approaches that Apple engineers can propose to ARKit developers (to create 3D geometry from scanned spatial features contained in .arobject file). Although, you can search through Github projects, maybe you'll find something worthwhile.

Look at my own question on the same topic: ARKit – Scanning 3D Object and generating 3D Mesh from it.

    @JayD, look at my answer (follow a link). It's about LiDAR's reconstructed mesh. However you can save a mesh only into `obj`, not `usdz` file format. – Andy Jazz Sep 26 '20 at 09:21

    yeah @Andy Fedoroff just had a look at it but it seems to revolve around liDAR scanner which i guess isn't available apart from ipad? can this work for iphone true depth camera? – JayD Sep 26 '20 at 09:25
  • We are all waiting for iPhone 12 with a LiDAR scanner that can be available this late fall. – Andy Jazz Sep 26 '20 at 09:27
