# RealityScan

Learn how to use RealityScan with echo3D.

### Download

Download the Reality Scan app available at the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/realityscan/id1584832280), [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.epicgames.realityscan), and [Galaxy Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.epicgames.realityscan).

### Instructions

1. **Open** the RealityScan app.
2. Take dozens of photos to “**scan**” the model until you make a full circle. You will see AR guides in green, yellow, and red to let you know where you need more photos.

6. **Export** the scan as a 3D model in [one of the supported 3D files](/web-console/manage-pages/content-page/assets.md).
7. **Upload** the 3D model to the cloud.
