3D Scanning from Video Now Available on the AR Code Web Interface
AR Code Tech | 05/06/2025 |
We’re excited to introduce a game-changing update: AR Code Object Capture is now available directly through our web interface, providing full support for video-based 3D scanning.
No apps. No special devices. Simply upload a short video from your browser to transform it into a shareable 3D model with an auto-generated AR QR Code.
Scan in 3D Using Just a Video
Creating a high-quality 3D model is easily done by recording a short video. Our cloud-based photogrammetry engine converts your footage into a realistic 3D object—right in your browser.
What is photogrammetry? It’s the science of extracting accurate 3D data from 2D images. By analyzing multiple frames in your video, our platform reconstructs the shape, size, and depth of your subject—no depth sensors or LiDAR are necessary. Just smart software, smart processing, and your camera.
What you need to get started:
- Video format: .mov or .mp4
- Video length: Minimum 1 minute, maximum 1 minute 30 seconds
- Device: Any device — PC, MacBook, smartphone (Android or Apple) with a modern web browser
Once uploaded, the video is processed on our servers, and in just a few clicks, you’ll receive:
- An instantly shareable AR QR Code
- Downloadable 3D files in .USDZ and .GLB formats
No LiDAR. No technical setup. Just you, your camera, and the cloud.
Why Web-Based Video Scanning Is a Big Deal
This update brings serious advantages to creators, educators, marketers, and developers:
- No special hardware required — any phone or camera capable of shooting video works
- Simple workflow — record, upload, and receive your model
- Accessible anywhere — works from any browser, with no platform restrictions
- Instant AR sharing — AR QR Codes allow viewing on iOS, Android, or AR-enabled browsers
Our new web-based scanning is already powering projects across various industries:
- Cultural Heritage — record videos of historical objects and turn them into 3D digital exhibits
- Retail — help shoppers explore products in augmented reality before making a purchase
- Architecture & Planning — use drone or phone footage to visualize real-world spaces in 3D
- Education — bring hands-on learning to the classroom with engaging 3D content
