So, I was thinking about the Lascaux cave and how much I wanted to see it. I know it's locked up but there is a 3 d model somewhere. Then I started thinking that one could share this vision using virtual reality. I confess I don't know much about this subject but simply putting a fixed point 3d map from one single location did not seem enough. Then I started imagining a drone flying through the cave mapping with a camera.

As the drone flew through the space, there would be a grid so that it's image would be located into the three dimensional space. As the drone flew more and more, the space with gain further detail. At any given point in time, the drone would 'see' only a few lines of sight, but these would accrue if its flights were randomised.

 

In this way a virtual helmet could locate itself so that it knew where it was and what the images would look like from that perspective

 

I wonder if this sort of immersive algorithms exists for such work?

Google Earth?

No Google earth cannot do this.

Yes, there are VR reproductions of buildings, landscapes and other things.
