US Patent 12112434 Mesh updates in an extended reality environment

Various implementations or examples set forth a method for scanning a three-dimensional (3D) environment. The method includes generating a 3D representation of the 3D environment that includes one or more 3D meshes. The method also includes determining at least a portion of the 3D environment that falls within a current frame captured by the image sensor. The method further includes generating one or more additional 3D meshes representing the at least a portion of the 3D environment and combining the one or more additional 3D meshes with the one or more 3D meshes into an update to the 3D representation of the 3D environment.
