Abstract
A system of extendable members and connectors can be used to model three-dimensional objects, such as furniture. The members and connectors may be arranged to approximate the shape and dimensions of a piece of furniture. In this way, a user of the system can visualize how well the furniture modeled by the system would fit in a space, such as a room. The disclosed embodiments may facilitate three-dimensional visualization of how furniture or other objects will fit in a room or other space. Further, the system may be disassembled easily for transportation and storage.
Claims15
A system for simulating a three-dimensional object, the system comprising:
- a plurality of rigid extendable members configured to remain in a substantially linear configuration in an extended state;
- and
- a connector configured to receive the rigid extendable members and to connect the rigid extendable members.
A connector for receiving a plurality of rigid extendable members, the connector comprising:
- a connector body;
- and
- a plurality of flexible members extending from the connector body and defining respective receptacles for receiving the rigid extendable members.
