Abstract

A system and method for creating, storing, interacting, and manipulating a digital facility is disclosed. One or more computing platform(s) may be configured to electronically receive a plurality of machine-readable sensor data of a physical facility having multiple 3D objects. One or more computing platform(s) may be configured to electronically process the plurality of machine-readable sensor data to output a machine-readable point cloud model configured for augmented virtual navigation. One or more computing platform(s) may be configured to generate a machine-readable configuration database of geotagged-locations of the 3D objects. One or more computing platform(s) may be configured to generate a machine-readable dynamic configuration database of 3D objects.
