Scaniverse sounds great! Have you compared it to other scanning apps like Polycam?



Yes, but a while back. I settled on Scaniverse for 3 reasons: It worked well, it had a high App Store rating, and no in-app purchases. A couple years on, it still works great and gets regular upgrades.

BTW, it's not just sculptures. I've scanned rooms (mixed results), relief paintings, loved ones (mixed results but if my children weren't already grown I'd be scanning them at least once a year), and even food.

Food can be quite fun. I showed a restaurateur a scan of one of his appetizers (served on a round stone so it made for good scanning). I used the AR view to project it onto our table and joked "Now I can enjoy one whenever I feel like!" He was so excited that he downloaded Scaniverse on the spot and I showed him how to use it. After that, he took us under his wing and recommended all the dishes he was proudest of. (We still had to pay for them though ;-)

In general, regardless of what AR/VR device you have or plan to get, if you see one in your future, it's good to build a collection of 3D / immersive content.
