Matterport comes now to Android

There's a lot of things we can do with our phones.  One thing that was super cool was to start doing the 360 photo spheres.

Well, that's just been jumped up a level now with the software company Matterport with the launch of an Android app to help use your phone's camera to make their 3D spatial models.

I used to have fun doing 3D scans with the Sony devices, so this is just that next level to map out say my office or living room so maybe we could try to work out what a new couch would look like.

Here's their press release:
