5 use cases

  • Scan a room from phone video and query it

    Upload a phone video and ask your AI assistant what objects are in the room and how big it is.

    View prompt
    In the openreality repo's MCP tools, upload <video path>, reconstruct it, then list the objects in the resulting scene and report the room size. Verify that the answer says whether dimensions are metric or relative, because the README states numbers are only called metres after calibration.

  • Calibrate a scan and measure distances in it

    Give one known real distance, then have your assistant measure between points in the scene.

    View prompt
    Using the openreality MCP tools on the scene <scene id>, calibrate with the known distance <distance in metres> between <point A> and <point B>, then measure <target measurement>. Verify that the result is reported in metres only after calibration succeeded, and flag it as relative otherwise.

  • Plan a walking route through a scanned space

    Ask your assistant for a path through the scanned free space from one point to another.

    View prompt
    Using the openreality MCP tools on the scene <scene id>, plan a path from <start point> to <target point> through the scanned free space and describe it step by step. Verify that the description names the start and target you asked for and notes any uncertainty the tool reports.

  • Export a scan as robot-training data

    Turn a scanned space into a LeRobot or GR00T dataset, or an Isaac Sim or MuJoCo scene.

    View prompt
    Using the openreality MCP tools, export the scene <scene id> as robot-training data in the <format: LeRobot, GR00T, Isaac Sim, or MuJoCo> format and save the zip to <local path>. Verify that the zip exists locally and that the export format matches your request.

  • Self-host the scan server on your own GPU or Modal

    Run the full Open Reality server on your own GPU box or Modal account, with no account needed.

    View prompt
    In the openreality repo, follow server/docs/self-hosting.md to start the server at <path or Modal target> and connect the MCP client using OPENREALITY_URL=<your server URL>. Verify that the MCP client can reach the server and that the token printed at first start is not committed to any file in the repo.

How to use Openreality

  1. Check you have what it needs: Node.js and npx, so the openreality-mcp package can run; An MCP-capable AI assistant such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Claude desktop; A phone video of the space you want to scan.
  2. Open reality-opened/openreality on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Add the tools to your assistant: claude mcp add openreality -- npx -y openreality-mcp serve (or codex mcp add openreality -- npx -y openreality-mcp serve).
  4. Sign in once with npx -y openreality-mcp login.
  5. Record a video of the room on your phone, or upload a file such as ~/Videos/kitchen.mp4 by asking your assistant to upload it.
  6. Wait for the reconstruction to finish. The README says this takes a few minutes.

These steps come from our top use case, Scan a room from phone video and query it, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
