3D capture software: How is Teleport different from the competition?

The need for high-quality VR content is growing rapidly as companies want more immersive experiences to offer to their customers and for internal training. A great way of increasing immersion is creating photorealistic reconstructions of real-world places, but existing 3D capture solutions are not ideal for the task. 

Existing high-end 3D capture and reconstruction techniques require specialist equipment and manual processing to deliver photorealistic fidelity. The process is painfully slow and expensive, taking a team of several people weeks or even months to complete. While some faster, easy-to-use alternatives have also been introduced, they simply lack the necessary fidelity to make the experience good enough for commercial purposes.

Enabling users to quickly and easily capture real-world spaces, with sufficient fidelity, is crucial for making immersive experiences more accessible and widely adopted – and Teleport is here to answer that need. Here is how Teleport differs from current offerings.

‍

1. Ease of use

Unlike other high-quality capture methods requiring specialized hardware or cameras, Teleport’s intuitive iOS app makes capturing spaces available to anyone with an iPhone. Scan and upload with a few taps, and advanced machine learning reconstructs it into a photorealistic digital twin in the cloud. 

The processing is fully automated, removing the need for specialized equipment or time-consuming manual edits. It even automatically removes things such as people or moving objects in the periphery. This enables you to move from wasting time on refining and manually editing captures to focus on actually getting them into use.

The ease of use and fast processing of Teleport 3D captures speed up reconstruction considerably. What used to take 2-3 weeks and a team of people, now takes a single person some hours, while also reducing the need for manual 3D modeling overall.

2. Unmatched realism

Teleport delivers industry-leading realism that makes virtual spaces feel authentic. This is achieved through accurate lighting, shading, textures, and reflections, making any scene feel like you are actually there.

Whether you're scanning a small room, an individual object, or a large outdoor space like a town square, Teleport produces high-resolution models with fine details, ensuring a lifelike VR experience.

3. Available any time, anywhere

Teleport scans work with a wide variety of VR and XR headsets, allowing you to experience the scans immersively, in real-life scale. They are also fully usable with web-browsers, allowing much larger numbers of users to explore them as needed – any time, anywhere, even without access to a VR headset.

‍

4. Well-suited for a wide range of use cases

Thanks to the ease of use and high quality of 3D captures, Teleport is well suited for a wide range of use cases. For example, remote inspections become much easier to do when you can scan project sites accurately in 3D, enabling inspectors to monitor progress as if they were on-site. This saves time and costs by eliminating the need for in-person visits, and allows remote staff to provide valuable insights and expertise to on-site teams. 

Teleport also enables a more immersive way of documenting environments and products, enabling planning, training and site tours. This enables many different use cases such as pre-site familiarization with equipment or environments, location and space analysis, immersive benchmarking, and more.
