The Unity Maps SDK lets you create indoor maps. Here is the floor plan of our office in San Francisco recreated in the Mapbox Studio dataset editor. The floor plan is made using the polygon and line features we use in building and road maps so it plays well with our Unity SDK.
Using that floor plan dataset, we created a 3D visualization in Unity. Walls are rendered as polygons and doors as lines, visualized the same we way we render buildings and road segments. If you want, you can even use point features to place office furniture and decor.
This is a basic example, you can create multiple floors, interactive rooms or doors, or even build a game with seamless indoor to outdoor transition using the Unity SDK.
We’re working on creating new tools and features to make indoor maps easy to create. Stay tuned to the blog for the latest and be sure to share your demo and mention @Mapbox on Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #BuiltWithMapbox.
Indoor mapping in Unity was originally published in Points of interest on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
