Nuclear Plant Reality Capture
Energy · 3D Scanning
A nuclear power plant isn't a place you can just walk around and practice in. So at Froliq, we used the PortalCam scanner to capture the Davis-Besse plant in 3D, including the turbine deck and the cooling tower.
We turn the scans into Gaussian splats, the same technique I use for Tanit XR, so staff can explore a realistic version of the plant on the web, in VR or in AR before they ever step inside.
It still amazes me that I use the same tools on a 2,000-year-old Roman stela and on a nuclear power plant!
I co-created the Future of Energy & Water experience for the Smithsonian's FUTURES exhibition in Washington, D.C. The show welcomed over 600,000 visitors!
The AR apps for Oracle's Connected Hub, a tiny working neighborhood with real solar panels and glowing power lines that comes to life in augmented reality.
A Vision Pro app I built for the New York Power Authority, so you can walk around an energy grid floating in the room.
Let's work together
I'd love to hear about it! Whether you want to scan a collection or build something in XR, let's talk.
