Some details
To replicate a machine or a complete factory in VR, 3d model of that machine or the factory is required to create the VR experience for the user. However, models are not readliy available with most of the owners. The owner may have 2d drawings with them but converting the model to 3d is a tedious and time-consuming process. To overcome this problem, LIDAR based tools are available to scan a machine or component and generate a
point cloud respresenting the scanned object. High end scanners are also available to scan the entire factory and create a point cloud of the entire area.These raw point clouds canot be used directly on VR app. These raw points should be converted into 3d model mesh before it is used in the VR app. Several 3d tools are available to convert the point cloud to mesh. A skilled 3d designer can create precise representation of point cloud as a 3d model. This model can then the utilized in VR developement (also be utilized in AR)
