Qlone is a 3D scanning app based on photogrammetry for creation of 3D models on mobile devices. [1] [2] The resultant 3D models can be exported for external use.

Contents

Qlone was featured at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in 2021. [3] [4] [5] It was also featured on BBC Click. [6]

Qlone features

3D scanning

3D scanning with Qlone requires the use of an included mat design. [7] [8] [9] The user prints the mat onto a sheet of paper, then places the object to be scanned in the centre of the mat. [10] [11] An augmented reality dome within the Qlone app guides the user through the subsequent scanning process. [12] [13] The iOS version of Qlone allows scanning without the mat. [14]

3D editing

Qlone's editing features allow users to adjust 3D scanned models using texture mapping, polygon mesh size simplification, digital sculpting, cleaning and smoothing, and artistic effects. [15] [16]

File export

Qlone exports directly to multiple 3D platforms including SketchFab, [17] i.materialise, [18] Lens Studio for Snapchat, [19] Shapeways and CGTrader. [20] Models can also be exported in different 3D formats for use in other 3D tools – OBJ, STL, FBX, USDZ, GLB (Binary gLTF), PLY, and X3D. [21] [22]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lidar</span> Method of spatial measurement using laser

Lidar is a method for determining ranges by targeting an object or a surface with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver. LIDAR may operate in a fixed direction or it may scan multiple directions, in which case it is known as LIDAR scanning or 3D laser scanning, a special combination of 3-D scanning and laser scanning. LIDAR has terrestrial, airborne, and mobile applications.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Image scanner</span> Device that optically scans images, printed text

An image scanner—often abbreviated to just scanner—is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting or an object and converts it to a digital image. Commonly used in offices are variations of the desktop flatbed scanner where the document is placed on a glass window for scanning. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications. Mechanically driven scanners that move the document are typically used for large-format documents, where a flatbed design would be impractical.
