Vive Center Faculty from EECS and Architecture Departments are pursuing an ambitious project to create a high-resolution 3D digital model of the entire Berkeley campus. We use a hybrid hardware platform that fuses LIDAR, depth cameras, and RGB cameras to record multi-modality 3D data for both indoor and outdoor environment throughout Berkeley, and we carefully label the semantics of both 3D structural primitives and high-level object shapes. Our aim is to open-source both the raw multi-modality data and the semantic labels of the Berkeley data and encourage the community at large to best utilize the campus-wide data to perform larger-scale AR/VR research and applications.
