Nianticthe company behind Pokémon GOis taking a big step towards creating a detailed 3D map of the world through the integration of Scaniverse. This tool, acquired in 2021, allows players to actively collaborate in the generation of a three-dimensional global map. With the new Scaniverse 4 update, players can now iOS users can scan monuments and landscapesrecording one to three minute videos to create 3D models accurate.
In particular, Pokémon GOwill greatly benefit from this innovative technology. Players will be able to use Scaniverse to capture details of their surroundings and contribute to the global 3D map. This collaboration will allow for richer in-game augmented reality experiences, offering more immersive and dynamic virtual environments. According to a report by TechCrunchthe incorporation of precise and detailed data will significantly improve the way players interact with the real world in Pokémon GO.
With Niantic’s acquisition of Scaniverse, significant progress is being made in its mission to build an extensive 3D map of the world. The technology behind this tool uses Gaussian splatting, an advanced method that captures more data points to deliver faster, more detailed renderings in real time. This improvement not only improves the quality of augmented reality experiences in Niantic apps, but also sets a new standard for 3D mapping, as detailed in the report.
Scaniverse will also continue to be available as a standalone app on the App Store. Advanced features, which previously required a $17 annual subscription, will now be free for all users. This will facilitate greater community participation in scanning and mapping their environment, directly benefiting Pokémon GO by providing richer, more accurate data.
Additionally, as part of the deal, Scaniverse creator, Keith Itwill join the team of Niantic Augmented Reality. This addition along with user content will strengthen the drive towards the goal of world map constructionThese collaborations bring Niantic one step closer to delivering authentic, immersive augmented reality experiences. Additionally, the integration of Scaniverse represents a significant step forward in the evolution of augmented reality and the way users contribute to the development of virtual environments.
