Described herein are techniques for receiving, from a first device, first data about a physical object located in a physical space. The techniques further including storing, in a catalog of objects generated for the physical space, information about the physical object and indicating at least a first location of the physical object in the physical space. The techniques include receiving, from a second device, second data about the physical space, the second data sent from the second device upon or after an occurrence of an event. The techniques include determining, based on the second data, at least an impact area of the event to the physical space and determining, based on the catalog of objects and the second data, whether the physical object is impacted by the event. The techniques include causing an output indicating whether the physical object is impacted by the event.

Virtualizing objects using object models and object position data

Described herein are a system and methods for generating a record of objects, as well as respective positions for those objects, with respect to a user. In some embodiments, a user may use a user device to scan an area that includes one or more objects. The one or more objects may be identified from image information obtained from the user device. Positional information for each of the one or more objects may be determined from depth information obtained from a depth sensor installed upon the user device. In some embodiments, the one or more objects may be mapped to object models stored in an object model database. The image information displayed on the user device may be augmented so that it depicts the object models associated with the one or more objects instead of the actual objects.
