First-person controls in Polycam allow you to navigate your 3D models and environments from a ground-level perspective on your mobile device. This view is useful for exploring spaces more immersively or presenting walkthroughs of environments, such as rooms, buildings, or outdoor areas.
Activating First-Person Mode
1. Accessing First-Person View: Open the 3D model you want to explore in Polycam and look for the first-person view option in the toolbar.
2. Movement Controls: Use the circular trackpad to navigate the capture. Similar to the W, S, A, and D controls, moving the trackpad up moves you forward in the scan. Moving it down moves you backward, while moving it left or right changes your direction accordingly.
Adjusting Height: You can adjust the height of the capture by using the bar on the right-hand side.
Exiting First-Person View: To exit first-person mode, tap the rotation button on the right-hand side.
Additional Tips: If you find yourself stuck or unable to move freely, try restarting the first-person mode.
