LogInKIRI Engine is a free 3D scanning app for iOS and Android, developed by Kiri Innovation, a Canadian company that specializes in photogrammetry, and powered by a state-of-the-art photogrammetry algorithm. With this app, it is possible to create high-quality 3D assets with just a smartphone by taking pictures of an object from various angles and heights.
Via its KIRI Engine app, startup KIRI Innovations has already pioneered the way to powerful yet affordable photogrammetry 3D scanning. It’s one of the small handful of 3D scanning options available for non-LiDAR users and good photogrammetry apps are even scarcer on the Play Store. That’s mainly because it’s challenging and time-consuming to develop an app that leverages low API levels like cameras and gyroscopes for such a diverse Android smartphone market. KIRI Innovations’ freemium offer provides recurring free exports, without paywalls on specific file formats, zero watermarks, and free access to most of the app’s features like in-app cropping and Camera pose.
The 3D scanner app KIRI Engine is expanding its toolset with new features in version 2.10. The software is now offering real-time photogrammetry locally, with LiDAR support on the iPhone and iPad Pro models that have the sensor.
