METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR COLLABORATIVELY SCANNING AN ENVIRONMENT

There are provided systems and methods for scanning objects in a virtual environment. In particular, the present disclosure pertains to the domain of three-dimensional (3D) object capturing in extended reality (XR) environments and to an optimized system and method for passively capturing 3D objects within Extended Reality (XR) environments. A selection of an object from within an XR environment by a user via a user device is detected. A 3D capture session is initiated based on the detection. Scan data corresponding to the selected object is captured during the 3D capture session, where the capturing is performed as a background process on the user device. A 3D representation or model of the object is generated in the XR environment and provided to the user via the user device.
