VR visualisation of several thousand GameObjects
Hi everyone,
Task: I have several thousand of simple spheres with fixed size and fixed coordinates. Now I need to represent this bunch of spheres in 3D hologram in VR, but the problem is the number of objects. If I deal with every sphere as a separate GameObject that is too expensive for VR and layout stucks. What I see - is to aggregate input spheres(input coordinates should stay the same) into groups to reduce the number of objects from several thousand to let us say hundred.
The question: Does unity support such manipulation with objects? If yes, give me direction to meet my demands, otherwise what other possible solution to my problem could be.
Many thanks in advance. Your answer would be appriciated very much. Pavel.

Some possible suggestions...
Create individual GameObject instances
Use GPU instancing shader
Use a particle system and programmatically create objects as particles. (You can render with 3D meshes)
Programmatically create single meshs (or submeshes) that contain geometry for multiple spheres.
Use GPU geometry shaders to create 3D spheres from a point topology mesh.
