This hands-on workshop teaches you how to capture real places and objects as interactive 3D experiences using your phone. You will learn how to record depth, surface, and presence so your work can be explored from every angle. We will scan together in real time and you will leave with finished spatial captures ready for your website, your social platforms, and your presentations. These techniques open new ways to show process, share environments, and create gallery experiences people can move through, bringing them closer to your work in ways they will remember.

 

1. See in 3D

Learn how to recognize scenes and objects that translate well into spatial capture. We’ll explore how to think volumetrically instead of flatly—identifying surfaces, depth relationships, and movement paths before scanning begins.

​

 

2. Plan the Capture

Choose the right capture method for your goal. You’ll learn when to use LiDAR, photogrammetry, or room mode—and how lighting, texture, and movement affect scan quality.

​

 

3. Scan

Capture spaces and objects with clarity and intention. Through guided practice, you’ll learn movement techniques that produce clean geometry, accurate scale, and stable reconstructions.

​

 

4. Refine

Improve your models inside Polycam. We’ll explore trimming, alignment, cleanup, and optimization techniques that transform raw captures into usable spatial assets.

​

 

5. Export

Prepare your scans for different applications. You’ll learn how to export models for web viewing, presentations, AR experiences, or creative workflows using common 3D formats.

​

 

6. Publish

Share your spatial work with confidence. We’ll cover embedding interactive captures, presenting walkthroughs, and using 3D content to communicate ideas about products, spaces, and environments more clearly.
