Scaniverse
Scaniverse captures and processes real-world sites into 3D assets for digital twins and spatial workflows.
What Scaniverse is
Scaniverse captures and processes real-world sites into 3D assets for digital twins and spatial workflows. Mobile users can scan different parts of a site, including with multiple team members, then upload the scans for processing into VPS maps, meshes, and Gaussian splats. The service supports Android, iOS, and web; its web app accepts raw .insv files from Insta360 X5 and X4 cameras. Listed exports include FBX, SPZ, and PLY, with USDZ added on Plus. VPS maps can be used to build VPS experiences with Niantic Spatial SDK 4.0. The Free plan includes 20,000 monthly credits, five organization users, mobile capture, splats, meshes, and VPS maps. Plus is billed $20/mo or $200/yr, and Pro is billed $50/mo or $500/yr. Creating Gaussian splats from 360° video requires Plus or Pro and is done through Scaniverse Web. Commercial rights, including resale, require Pro or Enterprise. Niantic recommends iPhone 13 or newer and says LiDAR devices provide the best results.
