The data appears to be rendered locally, so it is not being uploaded to Polycam, meaning that you are not consenting to use it for research purposes or be publicly available. In order to try it out, all you need is a .ply splat file and drag it onto the window, as shown below.

Barriers continue to fall. More to come.
