Scantic turns your iPhone into a fast 3D scanning tool. Capture a room, object, or environment and generate an interactive 3D Gaussian Splat directly on your device. The complete reconstruction process runs on the iPhone, without requiring cloud processing or an account. With Scantic you can: • Capture scenes using your iPhone camera • Generate detailed 3D Gaussian Splats • Process scans directly on-device • Inspect and navigate the reconstructed scene in 3D • Keep your captures private on your device Scantic is designed for fast experimentation, visual documentation, creative projects, spatial capture, and anyone interested in turning real-world scenes into interactive 3D content. For best results, move slowly around the subject, keep it well lit, and capture it from multiple angles.

About

VoxaVerse Beacon

Read full description

VoxaVerse Beacon turns iPhones into a synchronized, multi-camera volumetric capture rig for 3D and 4D content creation. One device leads the rig; others join over your local Wi-Fi network. Every phone records simultaneously — RGB video, LiDAR depth, and audio — with every frame timestamped on one shared rig clock, so footage from every angle lines up in post, automatically. CAPTURE • Multi-iPhone recording with synchronized start, stop, and photo capture • LiDAR depth recorded losslessly alongside every video frame (supported devices) • Rig-synchronized stills: every shutter delivers a phase-locked sync frame (with LiDAR depth) plus a full-sensor detail shot, each with honest per-still timing metadata • On-device subject matte (optional) CAMERA CONTROL • Rig-wide manual controls: ISO, shutter, white balance, tint, focus, exposure bias • Exposure parity: the whole rig locks to one light interpretation for a take • Apple Log on supported devices SYNCHRONIZATION • Shared rig clock with a live quality readout — the measured alignment is always on screen • Software shutter-phase alignment holds exposure windows together across cameras • Hardware genlock with a compatible USB-C sync accessory (iPhone 17 Pro) DATA YOU OWN • Every take is a self-contained session package on your device • Standard HEVC video, with depth, camera intrinsics, lens distortion and exact per-frame capture time recorded alongside it — everything a 3D or 4D reconstruction pipeline needs • Copy a session off with the Files app or a USB-C drive; nothing is locked to a proprietary viewer • No account. No cloud. Footage never leaves your phones unless you move it. BUILT FOR RELIABILITY • Crash-safe recording: interrupted takes recover to the last complete frame • Thermal- and storage-aware: the rig warns before a take can't finish • Every technical readout in the app is a measurement, not a promise Requirements: iOS 26 or later. Two or more iPhones on the same Wi-Fi network for rig capture (a single device works standalone). LiDAR depth on Pro models.
