As the metaverse hype continues to grow in the market, the demand for 3D models for creating immersive AR/VR environments has skyrocketed. Citing this and to help smartphone users easily create 3D models of objects, Epic Games has released the RealityScan app for iOS and Android. This app turns objects in regular smartphone photos into extremely detailed 3D models. Dig into the details below to find out more.
Epic recently announced the limited beta release of its new RealityScan app via an official blog post on its forum. The company has partnered with Quixel, a 3D software-focused firm, to develop the RealityScan app. Capturing Reality, a firm acquired by Epic Games recently, also has a role to play in this collaboration.
As you can see, the 3D models are not at all on par with what Epic showcased in the above video. Clearly, the RealityScan app is in its very early stages. It needs more improvements when it comes to real-world performance. Epic says that it will continue testing the app with beta testers and improve it with their feedback.
