Epic Games has released an application RealityScanwhich uses the iPhone’s camera to create 3D models.
Users can point the camera at any object, scan it and get a 3D image. The finished file can then be uploaded to the Sketchfab platform and used to create augmented reality applications or games using the Unreal Engine.
On average, to create a 3D image, you need to take at least 20 photos from various angles. This is best done indoors with good light and plain walls.
RealityScan is currently in beta. Anyone can download it via TestFlight. An Android app is under development. [9to5Mac]
