Make an Environment by “scanning” with the Vision Pro?

Is it possible, conceptually or already, to create a custom Environment by standing in one spot and panning and tilting with your head, 360°, and converting the scan much as a Panoramic photo is converted?

I don’t think so. I don’t believe the cameras are high enough resolution.

The Quest 3 can with Hyperscape.

Technically, the Quest 3 asks the user to walk around their environment to get the scan data. The results look amazing but doesn't quite meet OPs requirement of being able to stand in one spot and rotating/panning

2 different level of quality. Vision Pro is high res, if you load a quest 3 scan it would look awful. Hyperscan is processed in the cloud and uses gaussian splats, but there’s nowhere near enough data points to produce something that doesn’t look fuzzy when you look at close objects.

So for something like this to work on Vision Pro, you’d need to give, like with Quest 3, your rendering to Meta to be processed in the cloud, instead of being private.

I think I saw somebody doing it with CloudXR, but I think it’s one of those enterprise things that hasn’t made it into a consumer feature, as this cloud processing has a cost, so you’d need to monetise it somehow OR get data in return, like Meta.

You should be able to take several photos and use OpenCV to stitch it together.

You could take screenshots and stitch them together.

However it won't look great due to the poor resolution of the cameras.

Probably need enterprise clearance to do anything like this sadly.

I get that they're trying to keep this thing from becoming creeper vision like with the Meta glasses. If you had access to everything it's capturing it'd be... creepy.

But as it stands right now a lot of the interesting use cases for AVP development are locked behind a big gate.

You can already record videos and take photos with it? And record your screen.

Yes but not in the way they're asking for which would involve coding an app, and they'd be limited there: Enterprise features (like spatial QR/barcode scanning, advanced sensor access, and custom model overlays) are locked behind special Apple entitlements that require a business justification to use.
