Polycam

This feature lets you scan an entire indoor or outdoor space, such as a room, apartment, office, building area, or construction site. You move through the area with your device, and Polycam creates a digital 3D version of the space. The capture can include a photorealistic model, a 3D room plan, measurements, and a 2D floor plan. It benefits architects, interior designers, contractors, property inspectors, facilities teams, and real-estate professionals because they need an accurate digital record of a physical space.

Polycam creates a highly detailed, photorealistic 3D 'digital twin' mesh of small-to-medium physical items. You take a series of photos or videos of an item (like a piece of furniture, a statue, or a product) from multiple angles. Polycam’s cloud servers then stitch those images together into a 3D asset using photogrammetry and advanced Gaussian splatting. It provides a rapid way to generate realistic digital inventory or virtual props without building them from scratch in design software.

AI Capture uses Polycam’s AI-assisted capture process to turn photographs and spatial data into usable 3D content. It helps the software understand the depth, shape, surfaces, and layout of what the user has captured. In simple terms, this is the part of Polycam that helps transform ordinary images or sensor data into a 3D digital result rather than leaving the user with only flat photographs. This is valuable for concept artists, marketing teams, and hobbyists who want to quickly mock up a prototype asset without doing a full 360-degree photography scan.

The software lets users upload drone footage or aerial images and process them into large-scale 3D models of outdoor areas. It is designed for capturing places that are too large, unsafe, or impractical to scan by walking around with a phone. For example, it can be used to digitally capture a construction site, building exterior, land area, roof, infrastructure project, or outdoor facility. It permits inspection of large infrastructure sites safely from the ground and accurate mapping of terrain structures.

This feature compiles spatial scans into an immersive, interactive 3D tour that users can navigate online. It stitches together point clouds, spatial geometry, and 360-degree imagery, creating a web-hosted link where remote viewers can click around to virtually explore an indoor environment. This feature benefits real estate agents and facility managers because it lets them provide realistic, interactive digital site tours to prospective buyers or remote inspection teams without hosting an in-person visit.

The platform turns a scan of an interior space into a clear 2D floor plan. It can show the layout of rooms, walls, doors, windows, room dimensions, and calculated areas. This means that instead of measuring every wall with a tape measure and redrawing the space later, the user can capture the room and create a floor-plan record before leaving the site.
