Due to strict security policies in browsers, it is not possible to open potree html files directly on your pc because potree needs permission to load files. You have to put all necessary source files and the pointcloud on a webserver to view the result. You can, however, install a local webserver on your pc. I use XAMPP, which contains Apache Webserver as well as PHP and MySQL but Apache alone should work fine:
After you've installed and started Apache/XAMPP, you can access files in your htdocs directory through a localhost URL:
Assuming your htdocs directory is C:\xampp\htdocs, you can access it in your
browser with http://localhost
Try this for your first point cloud and then take a look at conversion manual to learn more about the converter options to get better results:
./PotreeConverter.exe C:/pointcloud.las -o C:/xampp/htdocs/potree -l 3 --generate-page
You should now be able to open the generated potree page at this URL: http://localhost/potree/examples/pointcloud.html
