Virtual Reality Factory Experience

We developed a custom virtual reality experience for a client who wanted to remotely showcase their factory and warehouse facilities to customers and stakeholders.

The solution combined multiple technologies into a single integrated system, including:

  • A Matterport-style virtual tour
  • A 360° video experience
  • A high-end 6DOF interactive VR walkthrough

This allowed clients to explore the factory remotely while gaining a clear understanding of its scale, infrastructure, and operations.

Virtual Reality Warehouse and Factory Models

The virtual experience allowed users to walk through the factory in real time while being guided through key operational areas. The system also supported multiplayer functionality, enabling staff to accompany clients inside the experience and explain processes in real time.

This made the platform useful not only for sales and presentations, but also for training and internal knowledge transfer.

3D Scanning and Factory Reconstruction

3D scanning equipment used to capture factory dimensions and spatial data.

Factory 3D Capture Process

We used a 3D scanning system to capture the factory environment in detail. The scanner generated both:

  • 360° panoramic imagery
  • Infrared spatial measurements and point cloud data

This data was used to ensure accurate real-world scaling in the final virtual environment.

From the point cloud data, we reconstructed the factory in 3D with precise dimensions and structural accuracy.

Optimized VR Development for Oculus Quest

The project was specifically optimized for the Oculus Quest platform to ensure mobility and ease of use without requiring a high-end PC setup.

To achieve this, we heavily optimized all 3D assets for real-time performance in a standalone VR environment.

High-Fidelity Factory Visualization

360° Video Factory Tour

To further enhance the experience, we produced a 360° video walkthrough of the factory environment. This allowed stakeholders to experience the facility in a guided format without requiring full VR hardware.

Due to confidentiality, the full 360° video is not publicly available. Demonstrations can be provided on request.

Virtual Reality Sales and Training Deployment

We also deployed the solution at a live event using 20 synchronized Oculus Go headsets, allowing multiple users to experience the factory simultaneously.

Multi-headset VR deployment for synchronized factory demonstrations.

This setup was used as both a sales tool and an immersive presentation system, enabling clients to experience the factory as part of a guided walkthrough.

Virtual Reality Business Applications

This project demonstrates how virtual reality can be applied in:

  • Industrial sales and marketing
  • Remote facility tours
  • Staff training and onboarding
  • Investor presentations
  • Operational transparency and communication

We develop custom high-end virtual reality applications for Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift, and HTC VIVE platforms.
