#reality scan

Epic Games has recently announced a new app called RealityScan that enables users to scan objects in the real world or from their photos and turn them into 3D objects virtually. The idea of it is that you could actually scan your very own chair or maybe even your own pet, and bring the scan into your game or project.

"RealityScan is the first step on our journey to make 3D scanning available to all creators. We believe that this tool will greatly help people of all skill sets to better understand basic scanning principles, bridging the gap between beginners and professionals. We’re excited to develop the app with feedback from the community and to introduce new features as we approach the full release." -- Michal Jancosek, co-founder Capturing Reality RealityScan seems to be a great step in the area of 3D scanning being more readily accessible.
