- Scanning objects and rooms into 3D models on a phone, with photogrammetry, Gaussian splats or LiDAR.
- Getting real-world assets into a 3D, AR or game pipeline in standard mesh formats.
- Floor plans and measurements of real spaces, on the Business plan.
Not for
- Space Mode scanning on Android: it is available only on compatible iOS devices.
- Production assets on the free plan, which allows only limited captures, GLTF export and 150 images per model.
