A system for creating an environment and for sharing an experience based on the environment includes a plurality of mobile devices having a camera employed near a point of interest to capture random, crowdsourced images and associated metadata near said point of interest, wherein the metadata for each image includes location of the mobile device and the orientation of the camera. Preferably, the images include depth camera information. A wireless network communicates with the mobile devices to accept the images and metadata and to build and store a point cloud or 3D model of the region. Users connect to this experience platform to view the 3D model from a user selected location and orientation and to participate in experiences with, for example, a social network.
