Point Cloud Player

I have been experimenting with visualizing point clouds in XR recently. When used in XR applications, a point cloud animation proves to be a highly effective tool. It lets us relive and reflect on past events (e.g. sports, performances, activities, etc.) or increase the sense of immersion in real-time applications (e.g. remote and spatial meetings). With the added ubiquity of LIDAR sensors on mobile devices nowadays, it will be pretty straightforward to set up and start recording or streaming volumetric videos.

Point Cloud Player (PCP) is a tool for reading & playing series of .PLY files as point clouds / volumetric videos. It can import .PLY files on-the-fly from Local, Remote, and StreamingAssets sources and display through the native particle system.
