Apple Object Capture with an Alpha Island!
What happens when you use Apple’s photogrammetry on a (basically) 2D object, like a Magic The Gathering Card? In this video, I take pictures of an Alpha Island Magic Card and submit them to Apple’s Photogrammetry API (link below).

There are a few requirements when considering doing this:
1. You need to be on macOS Monterey 12.0 beta or later
2. You need to have Xcode 13 beta or later installed
3. You need to have a decent spec’d Mac (preferably an M1, as they complete the process ~4x as fast as an Intel-based Mac)
4. You need a camera or phone to take pictures of your model; I used an iPhone XR
5. You need a model that doesn’t have too many reflective surfaces
6. You need to put your model on a dark, neutral background that doesn’t have texture
7. Preferably use a lazy-suzan while taking photos, and some kind of arm to keep your camera steady
