Niantic Spatial has updated the Android version of its 3D scanning app, Scaniverse, adding enterprise-level cloud features.
This update adds support for “Scaniverse for business,” which was previously available in the iOS version. It now supports Gaussian splatting and mesh processing via the cloud. Gaussian splatting is a technique for reconstructing 3D spaces from multiple photos and videos. Additionally, a Sites sharing feature for multiple users has been added.
Furthermore, it now supports the NSDK’s VPS function, which aligns positional coordinates based on a 3D-scanned real world.
In addition, a new compression format, “SPZ4,” has been introduced. SPZ4 offers a 3 to 5 times faster compression speed compared to previous formats, and browser display speeds are up to 20 times faster. This significantly improves the convenience of sharing and viewing scanned data on the web.
Furthermore, a workflow that integrates with the 360° cameras “Insta360 X4” and “Insta360 X5” has been added. This allows for the capture and processing of high-quality spatial scans in a shorter amount of time.
Scaniverse is an app that allows you to take and share 3D scans using your smartphone. Scan data can be exported in multiple 3D formats, making it useful for video production, digital art, personal archives, and more. Scanning is completed entirely on the device without an internet connection. The Android app is compatible with devices running version 7.0 or higher and can be downloaded from Google Play. You can register for a Scaniverse account on the official website.
