2018 WW: Bring yourself into a web-world: Get an avatar that looks like you.

Bring yourself into a web-world: 
Get an avatar that looks like you. 

You can meet your customers on the web.  Show them around the 3D virtual place you have set up to show what you offer.  Talk with them just as if both of you were in the same room.  You can have an avatar that represents you.   And you can have an avatar that looks like you.

A point cloud is a set of data points in space. Point clouds are  generally produced by 3D scanners, which measure a large number of points on the external surfaces of objects around them. As the output of 3D scanning processes, point clouds are used for many purposes, including to create 3D CAD models for manufactured parts, for metrology and quality inspection, and for a multitude of visualization, animation, rendering and mass customization applications. --Wikipedia
