Deliverables
GPRS delivered point cloud files in .rcs format, a 3D Revit Model, and a FBX file. The client was also able to view the model progress using Autodesk A360, a web-browser application that allows engineers and project teams to work together more easily in an online workspace.

Task
GPRS 3D laser scanned the Hard Rock Stadium for use in a mixed-reality experience during the 2020 Super Bowl on February 2. Mixed reality is a blend of physical and virtual worlds that includes both real and computer-generated objects. The two worlds are "mixed" together to create a realistic environment.
PROBLEM
It was important to the client that the existing spatial layout was captured with great accuracy. When generating mixed reality experiences, computer-generated objects must precisely interact with the physical environment to sell the realism.
Solution
- The upper and lower stands, field topography, LED display screens, LED ribbon around stadium, two Hard Rock Stadium signs and roof structure were documented with a survey-grade Leica P40 ScanStation.
- In two days onsite, 172 laser scans of precise point cloud data was captured.
- GPRS' team of in-house Mapping & Modeling team quickly generated a 3D Revit model for the client.
- The client planned to use Autodesk Maya, a 3D computer animation, modeling and rendering software to create an augmented reality (AR) simulation.
