Samsung has published a new app called 3D Scanner on the Galaxy Store. The 3D Scanner app takes advantage of the ToF (time-of-flight) camera on the back of the Galaxy Note 10+ (and Note 10+ 5G) to scan and create 3D models of real-world objects. The Galaxy S10 5G and Galaxy A80 also have a ToF sensor and should technically support the app, but Galaxy Note 10 owners won’t be able to use it as the smaller Note 10 doesn’t have a ToF camera at the back.

Creating 3D models of real-world objects requires one to scan the object from all directions. Those models can then be transported as a GIF file for sharing with others and can also be added to pictures and videos captured with the camera. Samsung recommends objects sized between 20-80 cubic centimetres, and we also found that you need to make sure there’s nothing else around the object that you’re trying to scan when we tested it out, or you simply end up with a scan of the object and its surroundings.

We’ll test 3D Scanner on the Galaxy Note 10+ more thoroughly later on and will tell you all about it in our review of the device. For now, if you have the Galaxy Note 10+ (or a Galaxy A80 or Galaxy S10 5G), you can grab the app from the Galaxy Store by clicking this link on your phone. After it has been installed, you will find a shortcut to the app in the app drawer. You can also access 3D Scanner from Bixby Vision –  just open the camera app, tap Bixby Vision, then switch to the apps panel.

If the app isn’t available for you via the Galaxy Store, you can download the APK file on your phone and install the app manually by navigating to the downloaded file in the My Files or other file manager app. Download the APK file here, and let us know your experience with 3D Scanner once you’ve been able to use it on the Galaxy Note 10+ (or Note 10+ 5G). Also let us know if it works for you on the Galaxy A80 or Galaxy S10 5G.

How To Use 3D Scanner App In Samsung Galaxy Note 10Plus

Samsung has introduced a new application called the 3D Scanner app that uses a ToF camera sensor and captures 3D models of objects. Though, it is not that easy to record perfect 3D models from the real-world object, with this 3D scanner. At first, the object that you are using to create the 3D model should be perfect and placed somewhere in a solid place/background. After recording the 3D model, the app will transport it to the GIF format, so you can share your art with others.

In addition, while you shoot the model, the Note 10Plus’s camera should be in the range of 20-80cm of the object. We have also encountered that, it is better if there is nothing surrounding the object or you will end up scanning other objects.

Before you go,

  • Find the real-world Object Model, that has a solid background to get an accurate 3D Model.
  • Open the Galaxy Store app on your Note 10Plus.
  • Search 3D Scanner app in the search bar.
  • Download and install the app.

How to Use 3D Scanner App on your Samsung Galaxy Note 10Plus

  • If you are using this app for the first time, then the app will ask for few permissions, like to Take Pictures and Record Videos, Access Photos, media, and other files, and to record audio. Allow them.
  • Bring the object that you would like to scan with a 3D Scanner app.

Note: Keep a distance of 20-80cm between the phone and the object that you want to scan.

  • Next, if you don’t see any options to scan, then close the app for once and re-launch it.
  • Tap on + symbol to record objects in 3D.
  • The camera will only focus on the object on which you want to run a 3D scan, avoiding all the other areas once you tap start recording it.
  • Place the object model steady somewhere and move the phone 360-degree around the object to capture the model in 3D Scanner app. Don’t go too fast otherwise, you will end up with the worst results.
  • Once you are done, stop recording.
  • The app will take some time to make a model and when it’s done, it will show All done!
  • On the next screen, you can examine the 3D model, by moving it with fingertips.
  • Everything’s perfect? Save it.
  • The 3D image will be saved in GIF format.

How to Use the Recorded 3D GIF with Video or Picture in Galaxy Note 10Plus?

  • After saving the 3D picture of the object, on the same screen, four different options will appear.
  • Tap on Camera option.
  • Select Video or Picture.
  • From now, the 3D model will follow your movements until you stop recording video/image.

Note: The app says “Get your whole body in the frame, then get moving. Your model will follow along”.

How to take 3D pictures on Samsung smartphones

Alexander Kuznetsov —

The camera in the Galaxy Note 10+, one of the flagship models of Samsung's new phablets, has an additional ToF module. This module makes focusing faster and more accurate, allows you to take photos with background blur, and can also be used to create 3D models of various objects. Two more Samsung smartphones have the same module - Galaxy S10 5G and Galaxy A80. nine0003

A new 3D Scanner application is available for these devices, with which you can create 3D images. The app is hosted on the Galaxy Store, a content store that comes preinstalled on Samsung devices. It can also be launched through Bixby Vision, from the desktop, or from a list of all installed applications.

After installing 3D Scanner, a new option for 3D shooting appears in the camera application. To scan an object with high quality, you should place it on a uniform background and follow the instructions, taking several pictures from different angles. Samsung recommends holding the camera at a distance of 20-80 cm from the subject - this will make the 3D model look more natural. The finished model can be converted into an animated GIF format or added to the smartphone gallery, where photos and videos are stored. nine0003

Turn your smartphone into a 3D scanner

    • Built-in 3D scanner: a new trend in the smartphone market
    • Complete your smartphone with a 3D scanner yourself
    • Connectable 3D sensors

The unique capabilities of 3D scanning are increasingly being used in a variety of fields, from industrial production and architecture to medicine and the film industry. This encourages manufacturers to launch more and more advanced 3D scanners on the market, the variety of which can be divided into two large groups. nine0003

  • Contact models are devices based on the principle of direct contact of the device with the scanned object.
  • The non-contact scanners (active and passive) are rightfully called the most promising solution, since such devices are able to provide 3D visualization of models located in places that are difficult to reach for direct contact. In particular, the use of non-contact 3D scanners has become widespread in the modern jewelry industry. nine0036

Perhaps the only drawback of these devices is their high cost.
High-end 3D scanning equipment costs tens of thousands of dollars today, and not every fan of 3D printing is able to buy a 3D scanner for personal or professional use. Gadgets that have already become familiar to everyone came to the rescue - digital cameras, as well as the most ordinary smartphones.

Built-in 3D scanner: a new trend in the smartphone market

Naturally, manufacturers could not ignore this circumstance, and for this reason, more and more well-known brands of mobile technology are presenting new smartphones with a built-in scanner to the consumer's judgment.

So, Apple equipped its iPhone with a compact 3D scanner with an IR transmitter, as well as a receiver that allows you to model objects in three-dimensional space in real time, simply by measuring the distance between each of the thousands of projected microdots and the transmitter itself. Interestingly, 3D printing enthusiasts can use such a device even in a completely dark room. The issue of the company's release of proprietary specialized software for 3D modeling is still open. nine0003

Keeps up with its permanent competitor and Samsung. So, the South Korean manufacturer equipped the new Galaxy S9 and S9 + smartphones with an unparalleled front camera and IR sensors for 3D scanning. The company's plans include the development and release of specialized modeling software to the global soft market.

The next model of interest to 3D printer owners is one of Lenovo's latest smartphones. The PHAB2 Pro has gained massive popularity not only because of Google Tango's super augmented reality function, but also because of the built-in 3D scanner, which operates at a speed of 250,000 samples per second. nine0003

Of course, these three smartphone models are far from the only devices that will interest users who are not yet able to buy a 3D scanner for professional use. In addition, there are several more interesting solutions on the market, each of which can be called a rather promising specimen.

By the way, most ordinary smartphones can be equipped with a module for scanning objects in three-dimensional space.
