 Point Cloud
 ***********
 
+Point Clouds are a special object type that is a container for data points in 3D Space.
+Each data point can have a set of `Attributes`_ but must at least have
+a `position` attribute to store the X, Y and Z coordinates of each point.
+Point Clouds can be used to represent photoscans and in the future can represent particles.
