Abstract
An apparatus and method for depicting one or more objects are provided. The method includes determining a geolocation of one or more objects, determining a vector from the objects to a light source, applying shading to the objects according to the vector, determining shadows cast by the objects according to the vector, and depicting the objects in the geolocation with one or more of the applied shading and the cast shadows.
Claims24
A method for depicting one or more objects, the method comprising:
- determining a geolocation of one or more objects;
- determining a vector from the objects to a light source;
- applying shading to the objects according to the vector;
- determining shadows cast by the objects according to the vector;
- and
- depicting the objects in the geolocation with one or more of the applied shading and the cast shadows.
A method for depicting one or more objects, the method comprising:
- determining a size, shape, and relative location of each of one or more objects;
- determining a vector from the objects to a light source;
- determining at least one of a shading of an object and a shadow cast by the object according to the vector;
- determining an orientation of a display;
- and
- depicting the one or more objects with at least one of the shading and the shadow according to the orientation.
A method for depicting one or more objects, the method comprising:
- determining a geolocation of one or more objects;
- obtaining current environmental information of the geolocation;
- and
- depicting the objects in the geolocation according to the environmental information.
An apparatus for depicting one or more objects, the apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- and
- at least one controller for determining a geolocation of one or more objects, for determining a vector from the objects to a light source, for applying shading to the objects according to the vector, for determining shadows cast by the objects according to the vector, and for controlling to depict the objects on the display in the geolocation with one or more of the applied shading and the cast shadows.
An apparatus for depicting one or more objects, the apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- and
- at least one controller for determining a size, shape, and relative location of each of one or more objects, for determining a vector from the objects to a light source, for determining according to the vector at least one of a shading of one of the one or more objects and a shadow cast by the one of the one or more objects, for determining an orientation of the display, and for controlling to depict the objects on the display with at least one of the shading and the shadow according to the orientation.
An apparatus for depicting one or more objects, the apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- and
- at least one controller for determining a geolocation of one or more objects, for obtaining current environmental information of the geolocation, and for controlling to depict the objects on the display in the geolocation according to the environmental information.
