3D Scanning for Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)

How can 3D Scanning impact VR and AR production environments?

Let’s start with the definitions:

Virtual Reality 

Virtual Reality is a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional image or environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way by a person using special electronic equipment, such as a headset with a screen inside or gloves fitted with sensors.

A man and a woman in glasses of virtual reality. The concept of modern technologies and technologies of the future. Fragmented by pixels. VR glasses.

3D Scan Data is a fast and accurate way to digitize a real-world object for use in Computer-aided design (CAD) and now AR and VR. Use an object as it currently exists or use the scan data as the starting point for your intended needs. 


Augmented Reality 

Augmented Reality is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user’s view of the real world, thus providing a composite view.

We have seen .obj & .wrl for texture-mapped models and .stl are common for un-textured models. We are able to export many different file formats so finding the right file format for your scan data won’t be a problem.


Are professionals using Artec 3D Scanners for AR & VR?

Yes – As the demand increases for high-quality 3D content-rich environments, we see clients using Artec 3D Scanners to capture assets for VR projects. For objects large and small an Artec 3D Scanner will be a great tool for many of your VR projects. With great resolution and great texture mapping capabilities the Artec Eva, Artec Space Spider, and the Artec Leo are our go-to tools for VR and AR production studios.
