Polycam is a powerful 3D scanning app that allows users to create high-quality 3D models using LiDAR, photogrammetry, or video capture. By integrating Polycam into the Hyperspace metaverse, users can seamlessly bring real-world objects and environments into the digital realm. This enhances realism, fosters user-generated content, and streamlines asset creation for virtual experiences. The integration enables architects, designers, and creators to populate Hyperspace with personalized, high-fidelity 3D assets, driving immersion and creativity within the metaverse.
