Watch: Niantic wants to build a 3D map of the world
Briefly

Niantic is enhancing its 3D mapping capabilities through Scaniverse, allowing users to record landmarks easily, improving Augmented Reality experiences across its apps.
The integration of Gaussian splatting in Scaniverse allows for capturing more data points, leading to richer, more accurate rendering of real-world landmarks.
Niantic has developed an extensive visual positioning system (VPS) over the years, allowing for precise location pinpointing in augmented reality applications.
With the new Scaniverse update, the scanning process for landmarks has become more technically impressive, enabling better user-generated content for augmented reality experiences.
