Detailed 3D Mining Maps & Future Reclamation Views Highlighted in Proof-of-Concept HoloLens App
LOOOK, a Seattle-based mixed reality and development studio, can now peer into the future with their new geotechnical engineering visualization application for Microsoft HoloLens.
Developed in partnership with BGC Engineering, a geotechnical consulting firm based in Vancouver, Canada, the proof-of-concept application pulls data from various sources, including topographical maps, soil and rock profiles, and engineering plans, to render immersive 3D maps and landscape models of a mining site.
Using the engineering data and video game graphics, the application allows HoloLens users to walk the landscape and explore wetlands at a certain point on the reclaimed mine as it would look in a generic location in 2037. Eventually, users will be able to go to different viewpoints on the map.
