Introduction Creating high-quality 3D content is traditionally a complex, time-consuming, and resource-intensive process. From 3D modeling and texturing to final scene assembly and rendering, companies require specialized skillsets. They must invest significant effort to craft realistic virtual environments, assets, and characters – particularly if their goal is to digitally recreate elements from the real world. […]

Introduction 3D product visualization and virtual prototyping are integral to product design, especially in industries including Manufacturing and Automotive. Last year, teammates from the AWS Spatial Computing community wrote a blog post about Autodesk VRED, a software package that helps designers’ prototype and collaborate on high-quality streams or renders of engineering artifacts. That post, titled […]

Introduction This blog post introduces readers to creating extended reality (XR) applications on Amazon Web Services (AWS). As XR technologies like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) continue to advance and become more accessible, their potential to transform various industries and applications is undeniable. AWS offers robust services and tools that […]

Introduction In this post, I demonstrate how to create and visualize an orthomosaic from aerial images using a technique called orthophotography. This is done through the use of OpenDroneMap (ODM), QGIS, and DroneYard. ODM is a software toolkit for processing aerial imagery and creating 3D models, maps and other geospatial products. QGIS, a Geographic Information […]
