WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc., a global Hologram augmented reality technology provider, has announced that it is building a holographic digital twin cloud platform based on 3D point cloud technology to reconstruct the “people, objects and fields” of the physical world in the metaverse. Compared with traditional 3D models, 3D point cloud technology is not constrained by artificial modeling surface equations and surface continuity and can restore any complex 3D geometry with high precision and convenience, presenting finer details and sharper edges.

Compared with 2D images, 3D point cloud data will have one more dimension of information (depth information). And objects are naturally decoupled from the background. Based on the rich data provided by the point cloud with more sizes, the integration of intelligent technology for mining and understanding can help technicians capture the natural and subtle changes of people, objects, and scenes more acutely, extract key data, learn the inner knowledge logic, and realise the perception and understanding of complex scenes. 3D point cloud-based reconstruction can quickly build a highly realistic 3D model directly from discrete points on the surface of objects or spatial scenes, significantly reducing the threshold of 3D content creation and improving modeling accuracy and speed.

3D point cloud technology may encounter problems of sparsity, disorder, and geometric transformation in processing. Deep learning also faces significant challenges, such as data set size, high dimensionality, and the unstructured nature of 3D point clouds. WiMi’s R&D team has also done a lot of research in this area, including 3D shape classification for 3D point cloud processing, 3D object detection and tracking, 3D point cloud segmentation, 3D point cloud registration, and degree of freedom pose estimation and 3D reconstruction.

The 3D point cloud retains the original geometric information in 3D space without discretisation. Therefore, it is the preferred choice for many applications related to scene understanding, such as autonomous driving and robotics. 3D point cloud technology offers advantages that conventional measurement techniques do not. From space to the earth’s surface, global mapping to urban planning, scientific research to public service, object modeling to building structure reconstruction, 3D point cloud technology has made a splash in many significant projects and essential fields. With the support of 3D point cloud technology, WiMi’s holographic digital twin cloud platform will be able to provide services to users in more areas.

In the future, with the rapid development of software and hardware technologies such as spatial sensors, the accuracy and convenience of point cloud data will continue to improve, and the efficiency of replicating the real world will be significantly enhanced. This will also give rise to more practical and innovative applications and cases. With the support of IoT, digital twin, AI, and other technologies, the 3D point cloud will be the key underlying technology for the creation of the metaverse, which will push the Internet form to gradually evolve into a virtual space parallel to the real world and eventually create a brand new era.
