During the shooting process, the RealityScan service will also inform the completeness of the shooting through green, yellow or red, so that users can know which parts need to be re-shot.

After the shooting is completed, the system will synthesize multiple images into a 3D model through online cloud computing, and the user can also check the completed results to confirm whether there is any synthesis error or incorrect shooting.
