Annotation export everywhere Export annotation PDF reports directly from image and PDF items, not just video. The export button in the player is always available now — share a PDF report, a QuickTime (H.265) with burnt-in notes, or a single-frame snapshot at any time. The following are experimental and still in active development: Gaussian splats and point clouds (in progress) Import .ply captures (for example from Scaniverse) and review them as real 3D Gaussian splats — orbit, zoom and pan, or place them in the room in AR at real scale, with real people and geometry staying in front. 360° / Panorama viewer (in progress) Open panoramic and 360° images in an immersive viewer with gyroscope look-around, recenter, a sphere/cylinder toggle and a live-camera blend. Virtual Set — AR (in progress) Place yourself inside a panorama using AR. Real people stay in the shot, and on LiDAR iPads a portal-distance slider keeps nearby objects real. Sharper AR masking (in progress) People and nearby objects are separated from the virtual backdrop more cleanly and with less flicker.
