Augmented Reality

VISR uses state-of-the-art 3D scanning, structured light scanning, and drone-based photogrammetry to digitize objects, artifacts, and sites — and produces augmented reality renderings that bring 3D models into real-world settings.

Our team at VISR has state-of-the-art technology to create digital 3-dimensional scans of objects. We work primarily with Polycam, SketchFab, SketchUp, Blender, and CloudCompare.

Our Polyga 3D Carbon Structured Light Scanner captures submillimeter 3D renderings of objects using various light technologies to represent textures, colors, and subtle contours — from the size of coins to human scale, and even partial room-size surfaces. We have extensive experience scanning artifacts for museum and archaeological project collections, enabling researchers and the public to interact with objects virtually.

We offer drone-based aerial photogrammetry using a DJI Phantom 4 drone with advanced processing capabilities for detailed 3D and 2D documentation at site- and landscape-scales.

The newest addition to our offerings: VISR utilizes SketchUp and SketchFab to create digital 3-dimensional renderings of buildings that can be overlaid on real-world settings using a QR code.
