Abstract
A method for generating a rendering of industrial equipment for use in an interactive virtual environment within a metaverse platform, the method comprising receiving, from the metaverse platform, a render request identifying a three-dimensional (3D) model of the industrial equipment to be rendered, generating and communicating to the metaverse platform, a virtual object request based on the render request, the virtual object request requesting virtual object data associated with the 3D model to be rendered, receiving, from the metaverse platform, virtual object data based on the virtual object request, wherein the virtual object data is in a first format, and generating and transmitting, to the metaverse platform and based on the virtual object data, a 3D model rendering for use in representing the industrial equipment in the interactive virtual environment within the metaverse platform, wherein the 3D model rendering is generated in a second format different than the first format.
