Luma AI offers a 3D capture mobile app that uses AI and Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) technology to turn smartphone video footage into interactive, photorealistic 3D scenes that can be shared on the web or exported to game engines.
Details
The Luma 3D Capture app is available for iOS and Android. Users walk around an object or scene while recording with their smartphone; Luma's AI processes the footage using NeRF to reconstruct a volumetric 3D model that captures reflections, lighting, and fine detail. Outputs can be exported as meshes, NeRFs, or Gaussian Splats to tools such as Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity. The app is free, with API captures priced at $1 per model. The companion text-to-3D feature Genie was sunset on January 1, 2026.
