Converting smart drone videos into 3D models to create virtual keepsakes of your IRL hiking adventures 🤯 We are truly living in the future

Throw the videos into @Polycam3D and you’ll get an even more realistic reconstruction as a Gaussian splat (and view in AVP with metalsplatter)

@Polycam3D Not bad. Thanks for the heads up on metalsplatter!

I remember contemplating this kind of tech for high tech red teaming in 2018. Tech is evolving and it's a dream come true.

Now consider this, scanning dioramas and walking through them!

What software do you use to create this?

Polycam

That’s wild. Imagine reliving hikes in 3D. What a cool way to cherish memories

"Smart drone" is a new one, what's the difference between that and a normal drone?

I wasn't really knowing what to call this But the DJI Neo I used will allow you to do stuff like have it auto-follow you as a personal videographer And do other useful automatic things like do a full circle around you in a recording (which is what I used for these 3D models)

Played with Luma and UE a little bit
