Agents are reporting a change of the Daily Assignments for new Agents. New Agents are presented with new tasks and rewards that are aimed at helping them learn the game and advance to higher levels. Among the changes are new Rewards like AP and Apex, easier versions of existing Bounties as well as completly new Bounties like visiting an all time unique Portal. It is currently unknown at which level range these tasks are awarded or if they appear for Recursed Agents as well. We assume that these tasks will be assigned to non-recursed Agents under L8, however we cannot confirm this theory. Let us know if you find other tasks, rewards or information! #IUpToDate @IUENG

Niantic has added a new product to the Niantic Family: Scaniverse! Using a technology called "Gaussian splatting" you are able to create high quality 3D scans of objects in just a few minutes which you can then download, share or contribute to Niantic Lightship. Contributions to Lightship will then be used for VPS, which in turn is used for Overclock in Ingress! You can also browse a map of both Wayspots and other places that have scans submitted to them and view their public 3D model. Scans captured via Gaussian splatting are generally of higher quality than those taken via Ingress, Pokemon GO or other Niantic apps. If you are trying to activate Overclock for a Portal it might make sense to scan it via Scaniverse instead. You can see an example scan using Gaussian splatting by our outside correspondent here: https://scaniverse.com/scan/eqxoovukmtmpj3cm. It took about 2 minutes of scanning to archive this result. To contribute and view the map you'll need to log in with your Niantic Account. While not required it is recommended to use the same Niantic Account used for Ingress or other games as future feature might link them together, such as a list of scans submitted through Ingress (as an example, this is not a confirmed feature). At the moment, no cross-app features exist, so you will not receive credit for the Scout or Scout Controller badge for scans taken in Scaniverse. Please note that these features are currently only available on the iOS version of Scaniverse. While Android users can also scan places using Gaussian splats, they cannot upload them to Wayspots, browse the map of scans or log in with their Niantic Account yet. Niantic is working on the update for Android.
