Abstract
A method for using a virtual reality (VR) headset to view a two-dimensional (2D) technical drawing of a physical object of a real-world, real-world environment in three dimensions (3D), the method comprising: using LiDAR to produce a 3D point cloud of the real-world environment; scaling and aligning the 2D technical drawing to match the size and orientation of the physical object as depicted in the 3D point cloud; overlaying the 2D technical drawing (including all labels and dimensions) over the physical object as depicted in the 3D point cloud; and visually comparing the 3D point cloud representation of the physical object to the 2D technical drawing by simultaneously displaying the 3D point cloud of the real-world environment and the overlaid 2D technical drawing to a user with the VR headset.
