It would be interesting to be able to create scans suitable for doing fitness activity with meta quest: a beach, a forest, a path in the grass… Something long, 100-200 meters, which you can run in back and forth while you use your exercise bike in your living room during a stormy day.
I did some experiments, not yet with much success, but it’s a beginning. My phone is quite slow, so it easily looses tracking while rotating and moving it to change point of view while keeping the end of he street in the center of the screen; probably it would be easier for people with more powerful phones.
Please note that following scans may be deleted soon because they are just experiments:
I used this technic:
Proceed straight, rotate the phone around but keep the end of the street in the center.
Be very careful and slow during first 10 seconds of scanning, when phone calibrates.
Be sure the phone never “flashes” in black or with the diagonal lines during the scan: it would mean it lose tracking, and you will have to restart from scratch, else the resulting splat will have 2 or more reference systems (in other words: it will be a mess).
