# Capture with the Mint mobile app

> Use the Mint mobile app to scan rooms, objects, and people, then generate Worlds and 3D Models.

**Access:** Signed in

The Mint mobile app is for capture-first creation. Use it when you want to scan
a real room, object, or person from your phone instead of starting from a text
prompt.

## Sign in on mobile

**Access:** Signed in

1. Open the Mint mobile app.
2. Choose **Apple**, **Google**, or email sign in.
3. Finish the sign-in flow.
4. Wait for Mint to prepare your capture session.

Use the same account you use on the web if you want your mobile Worlds and 3D
Models to appear with the rest of your Mint content.

## Choose a scan mode

**Access:** Signed in

From the mobile home screen, choose one of these modes:

* **Scan Room** with **Precision Mode**: Capture four guided room photos.
* **Scan Room** with **Fast Mode**: Record one guided 360 sweep.
* **Scan Object**: Capture one object for a 3D Model.
* **Scan Person**: Capture one standing person for a 3D Model.

Choose **Precision Mode** when you want more control. Choose **Fast Mode** when
you can rotate steadily through the space.

## Scan a room with Precision Mode

**Access:** Signed in

Precision Mode guides you through four room photos.

1. Tap **Scan Room** for **Precision Mode**.
2. Allow camera access.
3. Allow Motion access if your device asks.
4. Stand near the center of the space.
5. Rotate until a direction segment glows.
6. Tap the shutter for each direction.
7. Review the captured directions.
8. Tap any frame to retake it if needed.
9. Tap **Generate World**.

Keep the phone level and avoid large position changes between photos.

## Scan a room with Fast Mode

**Access:** Signed in

Fast Mode uses a guided video sweep.

1. Tap **Scan Room** for **Fast Mode**.
2. Allow camera, microphone, and Motion access if asked.
3. Stand in the center of your space.
4. Tap record.
5. Rotate slowly through a full circle.
6. Watch the coverage ring.
7. Stop recording when the app says the sweep is ready.
8. Tap **Generate World**.

If the app says the sweep needs more coverage or steadier motion, record another
pass.

## Scan an object

**Access:** Signed in

Use **Scan Object** for a single object you want as a 3D Model.

1. Place the object inside the frame.
2. Keep the background clean.
3. Wait for Mint to detect the object, if detection is available.
4. Tap the capture button.
5. Use **Gallery** if you want to pick an existing image instead.
6. If Mint asks, retake the image or tap **Use Anyway**.

Use one clear subject. Avoid clutter, heavy shadows, and cropped edges.

## Scan a person

**Access:** Signed in

Use **Scan Person** for a standing person.

1. Frame one person from the front.
2. Keep the full silhouette visible.
3. Wait for Mint to detect the person, if detection is available.
4. Tap the capture button.
5. Follow any prompt to retake or tap **Use Anyway**.

Use good lighting and leave space around the body.

## Upload and generation states

**Access:** Signed in

After capture, Mint uploads the source media and starts generation.

You may see:

* **Uploading...** while Mint sends the capture.
* A generation progress screen while Mint builds the World.
* **World ready** when a room capture finishes.
* **Working** in **My Models** while a 3D Model is still processing.
* **Failed** if the capture or generation did not finish.

If a generation fails, try a clearer capture before starting again.

## Where mobile captures appear

**Access:** Signed in

Mobile room captures appear as Worlds. Mobile object and person captures appear
as 3D Models.

You can find them in:

* **My Models** in the mobile app.
* Your web **Profile** if the mobile app and web account use the same Mint account.
