Custom Development

A distributed 3D scanning system that coordinates multiple Android smartphones to capture synchronized images from various angles. The captured images are automatically collected and organized for photogrammetry-based 3D reconstruction, enabling high-quality 3D models from standard smartphone cameras.

Challenge

Traditional 3D scanning solutions require expensive specialized hardware or time-consuming manual capture processes. There was a need for an accessible solution that could make high-quality 3D scanning affordable and efficient without specialized equipment.

Our Solution

We developed a distributed system with two main components: a mobile app built with React Native and Expo that turns smartphones into networked scanning nodes, and a Node.js-based PC controller application that coordinates the capture process. The system enables simultaneous image capture from multiple angles, automatic data collection, and preparation for 3D reconstruction.

Key Results

Reduced 3D scanning equipment costs by up to 90% compared to specialized hardware

Decreased capture time by 75% through synchronized multi-device photography

Improved 3D model quality by eliminating issues from sequential captures

Streamlined workflow from capture to reconstruction, reducing processing time by 60%

Enabled access to photogrammetry-based 3D scanning for small businesses and individuals

This system completely transforms the way we approach 3D scanning. What previously required expensive equipment and hours of work can now be done quickly with just a few smartphones. The coordination between devices is seamless, and the quality of the resulting 3D models is impressive.
