Matterport for iPhone App Lets You 3D Capture Your Space

Matterport has updated their Capture app so that you can now “3D scan” spaces using the built-in camera on your iPhone or iPad. Meaning you take a bunch of photos, and the software stitches it together.

Now that everyone’s cooped up at home, I can see tons of people wanting to capture their houses for fun…

…and the app lets you measure, tag items and label spaces too.

The only thing I don’t like: You have to upload everything to the cloud, which is where the stitching-together part happens. It darn sure better be hack-proof–it’s bad enough we’ve spent the past few years bugging our own homes with smart speakers, now it’s like we’re creating maps for tech-savvy burglars.
