What it is
Scaniverse turns scans of physical environments into assets for 3D digital twins and spatial workflows. Teams can capture different parts of a site with the mobile app, then upload scans for processing into VPS maps, meshes, and Gaussian splats. The service runs on Android, iOS, and web, and its web app accepts raw.insv files from Insta360 X5 and X4 cameras. Exports include FBX, SPZ, and PLY, with USDZ available on Plus. VPS maps can support experiences built with Niantic Spatial SDK 4.0. The Free plan provides 20,000 credits per month and up to five organization users. Plus costs $20/mo or $200/yr; Pro costs $50/mo or $500/yr. Creating Gaussian splats from 360° video requires Plus or Pro and takes place through Scaniverse Web. Commercial rights, including resale, require Pro or an Enterprise contract. Niantic recommends iPhone 13 or newer and says LiDAR devices provide the best results.
