Polycam's 3D Room Scanner is a mobile and web application that leverages LiDAR-equipped iPhones and iPads to capture detailed 3D models of interior spaces. The tool detects and models room features—including furniture, appliances, windows, curved walls, and ceilings—by combining LiDAR data with advanced processing algorithms. Users can interact with scans, generate floor plans with accurate measurements, and export models in multiple formats compatible with industry-standard 3D software. The platform supports unlimited scans, high-fidelity exports, and collaboration features, making it suitable for professionals in architecture, design, real estate, and construction, as well as hobbyists.
