A clean white parametric model is perfect for measuring and strange for clients. "That's my kitchen?" Yes — but nothing in it looks like their kitchen.
High Fidelity mode closes that gap.
Photos, projected onto geometry
While you scan, Scanstead captures high-resolution photos — up to 12 MP — and projects them onto the model's surfaces: walls, floors, and the objects in the room. The result is a model with the dimensional accuracy of LiDAR and the appearance of photography. The blue tape on the wall shows up on the wall. The client recognizes their home instantly.
Why not just take photos?
Photos don't measure and models don't persuade — the projection does both at once:
- Walk the client through their own home in 3D, with real finishes visible, while dimensions stay one tap away
- Reference finishes remotely: the office can see what "the dark paneling in the den" actually looks like, in place
- Document condition: the scan is a measurable, visual record of the property on the day you captured it
Getting a good capture
High Fidelity rewards slightly slower scanning — the pacing nudges will tell you when to ease up. Good ambient light helps the photos (though the geometry, as always, doesn't care). Rooms with strong window backlight come out better with blinds half-drawn.
One walkthrough now produces the number and the picture. That used to be two visits and two tools.
