Do note that, EpicGames is no longer accepting any new beta testers. According to the official website, RealityScan will allow users to create realistic 3D models using photogrammetry software, which can be uploaded to platforms like Sketchfab, a well-known 3D modelling platform that allows users to share and sell these models.
