#3That's amazing, I wonder how well Cesium rendered environments look in VR natively on the Quest3 and how photogrametry compares to for example the Light Fields experience wise https://store.steampowered.com/app/771310/Welcome_to_Light_F...
Light Fields camera tech produces dynamic reflections due to capturing and interpolating reality itself, I wonder how well this can be simulated with Cesium Photogrammetry and the Unreal VR pipeline so you don't need an expensive Light Fields camera to produce similar realistic static VR scenes.

That's impressive

#5Way too expensive to be useful for anything.

#6It was released around 4 years ago, when I worked at a civil engineering tech startup.
We had a lot of Cesium 3D tiles of construction sites, captured by drones. It was quite easy to place them to Unreal engine. Is was fun to place random things in the map and mess around it.

I've been able to do a lot for free with the regular version of Cesium, how is this different?

Do they have pricing information easily available? All I'm seeing is that it looks like it's free until you want to use their data, and there's no obvious indication of what that costs.

#9Why do people strive to create such realistic environments when they're a much more realistic world outside? Although I understand the purpose from a fantastical-escapist perspective, I wonder if this sort of increasingly realistic escapism actually is reflective of how we're making the real world far worse than it ever was before and we're preparing an alternative world to escape into due to our destructive tendencies.

The vast majority of people never leave the area they are raised, much less their country, either due to economics or culture.
There will always be a need for software like this as long as the world has these restrictions.
