Case Studies: Industrial Measurement, Digital Twins and Immersive Training

Real projects across manufacturing, energy and automotive — what we captured, what we built, and what changed for the client.

RRS Discovery, Dundee: a 2014 laser scan baseline, re-measured in 2020

RRS Discovery, Dundee: a 2014 laser scan baseline, re-measured in 2020

The RRS Discovery was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship to be built in Britain. Designed for Antarctic research, she was launched as a Royal Research Ship in 1901. Her first mission was the British National Antarctic Expedition, carrying Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton on...

Katy Field: as-built modelling and QA on subsea manifolds and spools

Working with Saipem, Luminous (then trading as Digital Surveys) has been involved in numerous projects, all of which form part of the Katy Field Pipeline Development. The Katy Field, approximately 14km north east of the Kelvin platform location, within ConocoPhillips' Carboniferous area of the...

Fire Safety Training

Fire Safety Training

Read our case study on performing fire safety training in VR. Luminous worked with Premier Partnership to create an office fire training experience.

Chickasaw: as-built 3D CAD modelling of a Gulf of Mexico reel barge

Chickasaw: as-built 3D CAD modelling of a Gulf of Mexico reel barge

Working with global survey company Utec, we were asked to provide an as-built 3D CAD modelling service for the Chickasaw vessel. "As-built" means a model that records the asset exactly as it stands today, rather than as it was drawn. Technip, the barge's owner, wanted an accurate record of the...

PEMP: pathogen environment monitoring in mixed reality

PEMP: pathogen environment monitoring in mixed reality

Pathogen environment monitoring is one of the least glamorous and most consequential routines in food manufacturing. Swabs are taken at defined points across a plant on a defined schedule, sent for testing, and the results are used to find out where organisms are surviving and travelling.
