From Video to 3D Modeling: Photogrammetry with AR Code Object Capture on MacBook M-Series
Apple ARKit | 31/12/2024 |
Our AR Code Object Capture app is now available for MacBook M-series devices running macOS 15.0 or later. This update brings instant 3D modeling and AR QR Code generation to an estimated 100 million MacBook M-series users, expanding our capabilities beyond the scope of our Web Interface, as well as the iPhone Pro and iPad Pro versions of the tool.
For this launch, we couldn’t resist revisiting our roots: our very first demo—a 3D scan of a Wallace Fountain—that captivated the attention of 10 million viewers last year.
What’s New in AR Code Object Capture for macOS
No LiDAR Needed
The macOS app leverages classic photogrammetry to create stunning 3D models from photos or videos—no LiDAR required, as with our web interface version of the tool.
M-Series Performance
Harness the power of Apple’s M-series chips for photogrammetry. Our app is optimized for these devices, delivering lightning-fast 3D modeling and AI object extraction—all processed locally, ensuring privacy and efficiency.
Accessible and Versatile
From restaurants to museums, marketers to urban planners, the app makes it simple to craft immersive AR QR Code experiences. These codes are accessible across Apple, Android, and AR/VR devices—no app download required—thanks to our innovative Low-Power SLAM technology.
Revolutionizing Industries, One AR Code at a Time
Already, an AR Code from a 3D scan is generated every two minutes on our SaaS platform, transforming industries like:
- Cultural Preservation: Capture and share detailed 3D models of heritage artifacts.
- Retail and Marketing: Enhance customer engagement with AR-enhanced experiences.
- Urban Development: Visualize infrastructure plans and environmental data in AR.
With the macOS version, businesses can now process drone footage to create breathtaking 3D models—ideal for environmental monitoring, infrastructure planning, and aerial mapping.
From Drone Video to Immersive AR Experience
To showcase the power of our macOS app, we’ve transformed a drone video of a Mayan pyramid into a photorealistic 3D model using our app’s photogrammetric processing. This model is now accessible in augmented reality through an AR QR Code—demonstrating the app’s capability to turn raw data into interactive, shareable experiences.
