Geospatial data is taking a lead role in the development of the eventual metaverse. Highly detailed 3D datasets along with GIS will serve as the backbone of whatever the metaverse will become as the concept continues to take shape. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems simplify data collection and significantly increases the speed by which 3D datasets can be developed. SLAM technology utilizes both lidar and cameras for mapping both indoor and outdoor locations. This emerging approach to reality capture is making it possible to efficiently map robust 3D environments in ways that have been cost-prohibitive in the past. The goal of this presentation is to introduce the fundamentals of SLAM systems and provide a representative sample of real-life use cases.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
  • Participants will know the fundamentals of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology by being introduced to core concepts.
  • Participants will identify use cases for indoor mapping and using lidar data to generate BIM models by examining real-life projects.
  • Participants will be able to define reality capture by examining current applications including digital twins.
  • Participants will be able to define high-level concepts of a theoretical metaverse through discussion of possible applications within the A&E industry.
