Mixed Reality Development Models

3D laser scanning can be used to create 3D models and mesh files for use in mixed reality, projection mapping, and 3D gaming. When real-world spaces are captured with this level of detail, they can be brought into digital environments with impressive accuracy and realism.

At Field Services Unlimited, we’ve seen how laser scanning has moved far beyond just documenting buildings. By collecting millions of data points from physical spaces, we’re able to build detailed point clouds that become the starting point for high-quality 3D models. These models aren’t only for construction or facility management. They’re also being used in some of today’s most innovative digital applications.

Mixed reality, for instance, depends on digital versions of real spaces that feel authentic. With accurate scan data, we can create mesh files that plug directly into platforms like Unity or Unreal Engine. This gives developers the tools they need to layer virtual content onto real-world layouts and build interactive environments, simulations, or immersive walkthroughs.

Projection mapping is another area where accurate 3D models really shine. When you have a detailed digital replica of a building or structure, you can project visuals onto it with perfect alignment. It turns ordinary surfaces into dynamic displays for events, branding, or public art installations. We’re also seeing these tools used in gaming and digital twin development. Scanned environments allow creators to bring real-world locations into video games or virtual tours, adding a new level of realism and interactivity.

As technology keeps advancing, the boundary between physical and digital spaces is becoming less defined. At FSU, we’re proud to support creators and innovators by giving them the tools to turn real places into digital experiences that inspire and engage.
