RealityScan Mobile is Epic Games' free photogrammetry app for iPhone and iPad. The App Store listing calls it a free to download 3D scanning app with AR guidance that creates realistic 3D models from your phone with no special hardware. While you capture, a colored preview shows how well your photos cover the object, which helps beginners avoid holes in the model, and a crop box selects what to export. Finished scans sit in a Project Library and upload directly to Sketchfab, the 3D publishing site, where you can share or sell them. Epic suggests uses such as game assets, VFX, AR and VR scenes, 3D prints and keepsakes. The weak points are a 3.8 rating from 350 ratings, the lowest here, and an export flow built around Sketchfab rather than direct files, so Polycam or KIRI Engine suit people who want OBJ or STL on the phone. We compared documented features and published prices.
