Title:
- Virtual Nature as a Digital Twin Botanically Correct 3D AR and VR Optimized Low-polygon and Photogrammetry High-polygon Plant Models: A short overview of construction methods
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
Virtual nature construction methods are covered in two processes, first with low-polygon 3D plant models ideal for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) and the second with high-polygon 3D plant models using Unreal Engine 5 and Reality Capture. Critical for scientific and information accuracy is the iterative review process with the domain expert.
