Estimating the term…
Described herein are systems and methods for presenting building information. In overview, the technologies described herein provide relationships between Building Information Modeling (BIM) data (which includes building schematics defined in terms of standardized three dimensional models) and Building Management System (BMS) data (which includes data indicative of the operation of building components such as HVAC components and the like). Some embodiments use relationships between these forms of data thereby to assist technicians in identifying the physical location of particular pieces of equipment, for example in the context of performing inspections and/or maintenance. In some cases this includes the provision of 2D and/or 3D maps to portable devices, these maps including the location of equipment defined both in BIM and BMS data. In some cases, augmented reality technology is applied thereby to provide richer access to positional information.
A computer-implemented method for delivering to a user of a portable augmented reality display device location information for one or more pieces of concealed equipment in a building, the method comprising:
A portable augmented reality display device for displaying location information for one or more pieces of concealed equipment in a building, the portable augmented reality display device comprising:
The portable augmented reality display device 11, wherein the processor is further configured to capture, send, receive and display for each of a plurality of video image frames that correspond to a different viewed part of the building to thereby further assist the user of the portable augmented reality display device in locating concealed equipment in the building.
The portable augmented reality display device 11, wherein the portable augmented reality display device comprises a handheld device.
The portable augmented reality display device 11, wherein the portable augmented reality display device comprises a virtual reality headset.
The portable augmented reality display device 11, wherein the real-world marker corresponds to a visible feature in the currently viewed part of the building.
The portable augmented reality display device 15, wherein the real-world marker is represented in a Building Information Model (BIM), and wherein the real-world marker captured in the video image frame is compared by the remote server to the BIM to identify a matching real-world marker in the BIM, to thereby correlate the video image frame to the currently viewed part of the building.
The portable augmented reality display device 11, wherein the rendering of each of the one or more of the pieces of concealed equipment is stored in an object rendering library of a Building information Model (BIM) repository.
The portable augmented reality display device 11, wherein the rendering of each of the one or more of the pieces of concealed equipment comprises a three-dimensional (3D) rendering.
The portable augmented reality display device 18, wherein the 3D rendering of each of the one or more pieces of concealed equipment is oriented so as to be consistent with viewing the corresponding piece of concealed equipment from a viewpoint of the video camera that captured the video image frame.
A system for displaying location information for one or more pieces of concealed equipment in a building, the system comprising:
