I really want an app I can scan my whole house with the camera/lidar combo on my phone, and export it into Blender, where I can then rearrange furniture and stuff. Apps like Scaniverse get you pretty close, but everything is one mesh, would be great to be able to slide the couch around the space without having the manually cut it out of the mesh.

In case anyone is interested in rendering USDZ scans in Three.js, I created a demo: https://usdz-threejs-viewer.vercel.app/

They overcomplicate by using 3-4 different (sub) license in one project:

in README:

Licenses - The sample code is released under Apple Sample Code License.

- The data is released under CC-by-NC-ND.

- The models are released under Apple ML Research Model Terms of Use.

Acknowledgements

- We use and acknowledge contributions from multiple open-source projects in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS."

then having in github license button "Copyright (C) 2025 Apple Inc. All Rights Reserved."

in repo file LICENSE LICENSE_MODEL

why making it so confusing and elaborate? Its so useless to even use by 3rd party devs for making apps and releasing on their platform. So then just make it one license with the most strict restrictions you can make AGPL and/or CC-by-NC-ND .

Looks promising but the license, Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives is pretty limiting..

I keep meaning to get back to my suite of equirectangular image functions - viewers, editors, authoring etc. and this reminded me to resurrect the Viewer.

Not quite right I think because the source image issn't 2x1 aspect ratio.

They can look really nice: both in the real world - https://equinaut.surge.sh/?eqr=https://upload.wikimedia.org/...
