December 15, 2025 — Leads & Copy — VIVERSE and KIRI Engine are collaborating to allow creators to scan real-world objects and publish them directly into VIVERSE Worlds. KIRI Engine’s AI-powered 3D scanning app uses photogrammetry and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) technologies.
The collaboration will make 3D content creation more accessible and affordable by leveraging apps like KIRI Engine. Creators can move from capture to a shareable experience across any device in minutes, utilizing KIRI Engine’s reconstruction quality with VIVERSE’s open publishing tools.
KIRI Engine enables creators to reconstruct detailed models from photos or videos in various formats, including OBJ, STL, FBX, GLTF/GLB, USDZ, PLY, and XYZ, and generates PBR textures and quad meshes. It is available on iOS, Android, and Web with free and pro versions.
“Creators want fast, accurate tools that let them bring the real world into immersive experiences,” said Andranik Aslanyan, Head of Growth, HTC VIVERSE.
Jacky Wang, Co-Founder of KIRI Innovation, added that creators can take their scans from personal assets to fully immersive experiences using VIVERSE.
The partnership aims to support the creator community and expand the VIVERSE ecosystem, giving creators a path from 3D capture and scanning to immersive deployment.
