Quick Description

A World Mesh is a 3D representation of a real-world environment. This is built from vertices and triangles and created from a depth sensor.

How It Works

Through depth sensing and LiDAR technology, Augmented Reality devices can scan an environment and convert that depth data into a digital geometric model. World meshes can update as a user moves around and can make digital objects feel more real by contributing to occlusion, collision, and shadows.

Example

An architect makes a world mesh of a bedroom and adds digital furniture to ensure that they will fit accurately within the space and look well designed in the environment.

Why It Matters

Meshes allow for realistic physics occlusion and precise placement of geometry within augmented reality environments.
