PlaceLens turns a few phone photos of something real into a 3D model at its real size, ready to use in a game, for about a cent. I never wanted to get into 3D modelling for my hobby projects, then I realised I could make it as easy as taking pictures with my phone. It works on objects (a teddy bear, a chair, a steering wheel, a plant) and on buildings: my house was built from 12 photos and put on its real spot on the map, using the phone's GPS and compass. Everything in PlaceLens was built during the hackathon. My game Open-Planet existed before and only shows where the models end up.
