Capture

Niantic Spatial’s Capture tools and services connect AI to the real world by collecting high-resolution 3D data — the foundation of Niantic Spatial’s Large Geospatial Model — and supports multiple workflows: Scaniverse, On-Demand Data Capture, and Bring Your Own Data (BYOD) integrations.

Niantic Spatial Capture enables high-fidelity 3D inputs for reconstruction, localization, and real-world understanding, turning real-world data into the foundation for spatial intelligence.

Scaniverse

Scaniverse is the market-leading phone-based world scanning application, enabling anyone from creators to field teams to scan real-world environments with precision and ease.

Key Capabilities

Export or integrate seamlessly: Export scans in standard 3D formats - including our open-source SPZ format, reducing file size by 90%.

High-fidelity mobile scanning: Capture detailed 3D scans from iOS and Android devices.

Photorealistic results: Generate Gaussian Splats and meshes processed efficiently on-device.

Built for Niantic Spatial pipelines: Connect directly with Niantic Spatial’s reconstruction and localization workflows (coming soon).

Collaborative tools: Team-based scanning and data management (coming soon).

On-Demand Data Capture

Our on-demand data capture service supports geospatial capture at any scale, enabling ULS coverage, digital twin creation, and spatial understanding.

For organizations needing large-area or complex-site capture, Niantic Spatial offers full-service data acquisition workflows. Trained operators collect and process geospatial data at any scale.

Key Benefits

Full end-to-end project management: We manage every stage of data capture, from planning to delivery, using years of 3D scanning expertise across consumer devices, drones, and mobile mapping.

Mission-Critical Accuracy: Our team uses multi-sensor hardware to deliver geo-referenced, centimeter-level accuracy for enterprise-grade applications.

Niantic Spatial Expertise: Our experts efficiently capture large, complex environments, allowing your teams to stay focused on core operations.

Turnkey, Optimized Assets: We manage the entire workflow delivering a fully processed, high-fidelity digital twin, not just raw data.

Enterprise Privacy by Default: Your data stays private and secure, processed and stored exclusively for your organization.

Bring Your Own Data (BYOD)

Integrate your own imagery, scans, and telemetry. Niantic Spatial Capture is data-source agnostic, enabling organizations to connect drone imagery, LiDAR scans, or sensor datasets.

Key Capabilities

Flexible Data Ingestion: Capture or import imagery and sensor data from smartphones, DSLRs, 360° cameras, RGB-LiDAR devices, drones, or other specialized sensors.

Device-Agnostic Workflows: Niantic Spatial supports a wide range of capture methods without requiring custom hardware.

Unified Processing Pipeline: Automatically co-register, align, and geo-reference multi-source data into a consistent, high-fidelity 3D framework.

Seamless Platform Integration: Connect directly with Niantic Spatial’s Reconstruct, Localize, and Understand services for end-to-end 3D reconstruction and visualization.

Enterprise-Grade Security: Retain full control over data ownership, access permissions, and privacy throughout the capture and processing lifecycle.
