Scaniverse

Scaniverse is a free, powerful 3D scanning app that captures high-quality models of objects, spaces, and environments in real-time. It allows users to create detailed, accurate scans and export them in various formats for 3D modeling, AR, VR, and CAD applications.

High-fidelity 3D scanning directly from your smartphone

Scaniverse empowers you to create unlimited photorealistic Gaussian splats and precise 3D meshes—for free. With fast, on-device splat processing, you can review your captures in minutes, dramatically accelerating your 3D workflows. Export in popular formats, including our open-source SPZ format, which reduces file size by 90%. Available on iOS and Android, Scaniverse transforms real-world locations into hyper-realistic immersive experiences.

Explore, share, and inspire in 3D

Uploading your scans to the Scaniverse map is always optional and never automatic. When you do, you’re contributing to a community-powered 3D map of the world, which you can explore in 3D at over 50,000 locations today. This evolving map contributes to Niantic's Visual Positioning System (VPS), transforming real-world locations into settings for immersive experiences. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, join the community to learn, collaborate and showcase your creations.

Into the Scaniverse

Into the Scaniverse is a first-of-its kind Meta Quest app for viewing the world’s largest collection of 3D Gaussian splats, built using Niantic Studio. For the first time, you can see user-generated splats from the Scaniverse map—including your own—on the Meta Quest. The start to finish process—scan on iOS, process, upload, view in your headset—takes less than five minutes.
