1. A method comprising:
operating a set of physical robots in a three-dimensional (3D) space in which is contained a physical object, wherein the set of physical robots comprises a plurality of cameras located on the set of physical robots, and wherein cameras in the plurality of cameras are separated by one or more distances between the plurality of cameras;
capturing, using at least two of the plurality of cameras, a plurality of images of the 3D space;
generating, using the at least two of the plurality of cameras and at least one parallax measurement established by the one or more distances, volumetric data of the 3D space;
generating, using the plurality of images and the volumetric data, a 3D virtual reality environment comprising a space representation of the 3D space, an object virtual representation of the physical object, and a robot virtual representation of the set of physical robots, wherein the robot virtual representation comprises a point-of-view located about on the set of physical robots; and
projecting, using a virtual reality projector, the 3D virtual reality environment.
