Developers in need of a platform to access and contribute to 3D maps, facilitating the creation of location-based applications
About MeshMap
MeshMap is an open 3D mapping platform designed to accelerate innovation in spatial applications and experiences. Users can contribute to building a comprehensive 3D map of the world by scanning environments using devices like smartphones, drones, or professional equipment, and submitting these scans to MeshMap for rewards. The platform supports various scanning methods, including LiDAR, photogrammetry, and Gaussian splatting, with preferred export formats such as .gltf and .ply files. MeshMap offers a Unity SDK to streamline the creation and publication of extended reality applications, enabling creators to import scans, design content, and share it globally. The platform prioritizes compatibility across devices and platforms, supporting Meta Quest 3 and Magic Leap 2, with plans for future expansions. By fostering a contributor-owned, community-managed mapping network, MeshMap aims to democratize access to high-precision, high-coverage 3D maps.
