Method and system for visualizing overlays in virtual environments

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• obtaining, by one or more processors, a virtual reality model of an overall region;
• accessing, by the one or more processors, a plurality of records associated with a property modeled in the virtual reality model, wherein each of the records has an associated time stamp, and wherein the plurality of records represent locations of one or more response units at respective ones of a plurality of historical times;
• generating, by the one or more processors, a plurality of overlays for respective ones of the plurality of records, wherein each of the plurality of overlays has an associated time stamp corresponding to the time stamp associated with the respective record, and wherein generating the plurality of overlays for respective ones of the plurality of records includes causing the one or more response units to appear at different locations in a time lapse rendering of the virtual reality environment;
• and
• adding the plurality of overlays to the virtual reality model such that the time lapse rendering of the virtual reality model sequentially renders the plurality of overlays at times based on the time stamps associated with the plurality of overlays.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory memories coupled to the one or more processors and storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
• obtain a virtual reality model of an overall region;
• access a plurality of records associated with a property modeled in the virtual reality model, wherein each of the plurality of records has an associated time stamp, wherein the plurality of records represent respective statuses of a claim at respective ones of a plurality of historical times, and wherein the statuses of the claim are based upon a claim processing event;
• generate a plurality of overlays for respective ones of the plurality of records, wherein each of the plurality of overlays has an associated time stamp corresponding to the time stamp associated with the respective record, wherein the plurality of overlays represent the statuses of the claim at respective ones of the plurality of historical times, wherein the depiction of a status differs with the status;
• and
• add the plurality of overlays to the virtual reality model such that a time lapse rendering of the virtual reality model sequentially renders the plurality of overlays at times based on the time stamps associated with the overlays.

• and
• add the plurality of overlays to the virtual reality model such that the time lapse rendering of the virtual reality model sequentially renders the plurality of overlays at times based on the time stamps associated with the overlays.
