+
+## 🎨 Point Cloud Example
+
+The point cloud (`point_cloud.ply`) contains:
+- **1.4M - 2M points** (typical for 20-30 images)
+- **RGB color** from source images
+- **Vertex normals** (if requested)
+- Can be viewed in:
+  - CloudCompare
+  - MeshLab
+  - Open3D viewer
+  - Blender
+
+**Example statistics:**
+```
+Points: 1,456,789
+Bounds: [-5.2, -3.1, -2.4] to [6.8, 4.2, 3.9] meters
+Colors: RGB (0-255)
+Normals: Yes
+File size: ~87 MB
+```
+
+## 🎭 Mesh Example
+
+The mesh (`mesh.ply`, `mesh.glb`, `mesh.obj`) contains:
+- **345K vertices, 691K faces** (typical)
+- **Textured with colors** from point cloud
+- **Vertex normals** for smooth shading
+- Can be viewed in:
+  - Blender
+  - MeshLab
+  - Three.js web viewer (GLB)
+  - Unity/Unreal (OBJ/GLB)
+
+**Example statistics:**
+```
+Vertices: 345,678
+Faces: 691,234
+Vertex colors: RGB
+Vertex normals: Yes
+Texture: Per-vertex colors
+Manifold: No (typical for Poisson)
+Watertight: Yes (if Poisson)
+File size: ~45 MB (PLY), ~38 MB (GLB)
+```
+
+## 🔍 Depth Maps Example
+
+Individual depth maps (if `save_intermediate: true`):
+
+**Format:** NumPy `.npy` + visualization `.png`
+
+```python
+# Load depth map
+import numpy as np
+depth = np.load('output/depth_maps/image_0001_depth.npy')
+# Shape: (H, W, 3) - XYZ coordinates in camera space
+# Values: Metric 3D points
+
+# Depth range example
+print(f"Min depth: {depth[:,:,2].min():.2f}m")  # 0.45m
+print(f"Max depth: {depth[:,:,2].max():.2f}m")  # 12.34m
+print(f"Valid points: {np.isfinite(depth[:,:,2]).sum()}")  # 98765
+```
+
+## 📈 Performance Benchmarks
+
+**Typical processing times (NVIDIA RTX 3090):**
+
+| Images | Resolution | MoGe Time | Alignment | Fusion | Mesh | Total |
+|--------|-----------|-----------|-----------|---------|------|-------|

+| 100    | 1920x1080 | 345s      | 28s       | 120s    | 95s  | 588s  |
+
+**Quality settings impact:**
+- `fast`: ~2x faster, 85% quality
+- `balanced`: 1x baseline, 95% quality
+- `quality`: ~1.5x slower, 100% quality
+
+## 🌐 Viewing the Results
+
+### Option 1: Web Viewer (GLB)
+```bash
+# Upload mesh.glb to:
+# - https://gltf-viewer.donmccurdy.com/
+# - https://3dviewer.net/
+# Or embed in Three.js
+```
+
+### Option 2: Blender
+```bash
+# File > Import > PLY/GLB/OBJ
+# Point cloud: Import as PLY
+# Mesh: Import as GLB (preserves colors)
+```
+
+### Option 3: Python (Open3D)
+```python
+import open3d as o3d
+
+# View point cloud
+pcd = o3d.io.read_point_cloud("output/point_cloud.ply")
+o3d.visualization.draw_geometries([pcd])
+
+# View mesh
+mesh = o3d.io.read_triangle_mesh("output/mesh.ply")
+mesh.compute_vertex_normals()
+o3d.visualization.draw_geometries([mesh])
+```
+
+### Option 4: CloudCompare
+```bash
+# Open point_cloud.ply or mesh.ply
+# Automatic normal computation
+# Measurement tools available
+```
+
+## 🎯 What Makes a Good Reconstruction?
+
+**Point Cloud Quality Indicators:**
+- Point count: 1M-5M points (depends on scene size)
+- Coverage: No large gaps in important regions
+- Noise level: Low (achieved via outlier removal)
+- Color accuracy: Matches source images
+
+**Mesh Quality Indicators:**
+- Face count: 500K-2M faces (depends on scene detail)
+- Manifoldness: Not required but preferred
+- Surface smoothness: Depends on Poisson depth (9-10 = smooth)
+- Texture fidelity: Colors match point cloud
+
+## 🚀 Next Steps After Reconstruction
+
+1. **Refine mesh** in Blender/MeshLab
+2. **Create texture atlas** for game engines
+3. **Simplify for web** (decimate to 50K-100K faces)
+4. **Export to Unity/Unreal** for interactive viewing
+5. **Use in AR/VR** applications
+
+## 📝 Example Use Cases
+
