your phone just turned into a 3d scanner, and almost nobody knows this exists yet
someone open-sourced a tool that takes a normal video off your phone, the kind you’d shoot just walking around a room, and rebuilds the whole space into a full 3d world you can actually move through
no lidar, no depth sensor, no expensive scanning rig, just the footage you already have sitting in your camera roll
you drop the mp4 in, and it comes back as a walkable scene made of nearly a million points, running smooth at 60fps, and the wild part is it all happens on your own gpu
nothing gets uploaded, no cloud, no subscription, no account, nothing ever leaves your machine
this is the kind of thing that used to cost thousands in gear and a studio setup, and now it’s a free repo and a graphics card, quietly sitting on github while most people scroll past it

and if you’d rather i send it straight to you, comment GPU and it’ll land in your dms
