Abstract: A system of generating a three-dimensional (3D) scan of an environment includes multiple 3D scanners including a first 3D scanner at respective first and second positions. The system further includes a controller coupled to the 3D scanners via a common communications network. The first scanner and second scanner transmit a subset of data to the controller while acquiring a set of 3D coordinates. The controller registers the subsets of data to each other while the sets of 3D coordinates is being acquired.

Abstract: A system of generating a three-dimensional (3D) scan of an environment includes multiple 3D scanners including a first 3D scanner at respective first and second positions. The system further includes a controller coupled to the 3D scanners. The first 3D scanner acquires a first set of 3D coordinates, the first set of 3D coordinates having a first portion. The second 3D scanner acquires a second set of 3D coordinates, the second set of 3D coordinates having a second portion. The first portion and the second portion are simultaneously transmitted to the controller by the first 3D scanner and the second 3D scanner respectively, while the first set of 3D coordinates and the second set of 3D coordinates are being acquired. The controller registers the first portion and the second portion to each other while the first set of 3D coordinates and the second set of 3D coordinates are being acquired.

Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) system that includes a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud having a plurality of points, a VR viewer having a current position, a graphics processing unit (GPU), and a central processing unit (CPU). The CPU determines a field-of-view (FOV) based at least in part on the current position of the VR viewer, selects, using occlusion culling, a subset of the points based at least in part on the FOV, and provides them to the GPU. The GPU receives the subset of the plurality of points from the CPU and renders an image for display on the VR viewer based at least in part on the received subset of the plurality of points. The selecting a subset of the plurality of points is at a first frame per second (FPS) rate and the rendering is at a second FPS rate that is faster than the first FPS rate.
