The 10th AREA Research Project
This Executive Summary provides an overview of 3D mapping technologies and principles and defines parameters to consider when choosing a 3D scanner. There are hurdles that can cause resistance to ongoing and future usage of 3D mapping data in AR-assisted use cases.
Specifically, this breaks down to a lack of understanding of 3D mapping technology and techniques, limitations due to file formats, ideal scanner use cases, knowledge permitting a technician to accurately capture a suitable 3D dataset for AR, and guidelines for using AR and 3D mapping data together.
The full report is available only to AREA members. It provides a comprehensive review of 3D mapping technologies and principles and defines parameters to consider when choosing a 3D scanner for a specific use case. Recommended steps are also provided to aid in accurate and successful capture of objects and environments. A supporting sample project demonstrates a real-world example that leverages 3D scan data for one AR-assisted use case.
