Object capture is a technology introduced by Apple that allows users to create 3D models of real-world objects using an iPhone or iPad. This process involves capturing multiple images of an object from different angles, which are then processed to reconstruct a detailed 3D model. Object capture works best on movable objects in controlled indoor environments where you have space to walk all the way around and capture every angle.
Apple has also introduced an "area mode" for object capture, which allows for the capture of uneven terrain outdoors, objects that you can't walk all the way around, or complex surfaces. This mode is ideal for creating models for use in 3D environments or artistic projects on Apple Vision Pro.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the session Discover area mode for Object Capture.
