Reality Conversion

Reality Conversion API

The Reality Conversion API provides the ability to convert reality files such as point clouds from supported source format to supported target format. Point cloud produced by scanning devices are often stored in very large files, in a format that reflects to the way data is captured but that is not ready to be directly consumed interactively in a web viewer. One of the main purposes of such a conversion is to make reality data, when stored in a non-web-friendly format, ready for web consumption.

Input

Output
