Abstract
An augmented reality method includes selecting an image of an object to be installed; converting the image into a 3D model; capturing a view of an environment and selecting a place to insert the 3D model; overlaying the 3D model with the view of the environment in a mashed-up and aligned manner wherein the 3D model view is displayed contemporaneously and contiguously to form an augmented reality view; and enabling user interaction with the displayed 3D model view to update the 3D model of the environment in the 3D modeling system.
Claims20
An augmented reality method, comprising:
- selecting an image of an object to be installed;
- converting the image into a 3D model;
- capturing a view of an environment using a mobile camera and selecting a place to insert the 3D model, wherein the environment is modeled in 3D by a module using the camera and an infrared camera for motion-tracking with visual features of an environment, in combination with accelerometer and gyroscope data, to track movements in space;
- and detecting distances, sizes, and surfaces in the environment for depth perception;
- overlaying the 3D model with the view of the environment wherein the 3D model view is rendered with the view of the environment for viewing on a 2D display to form an augmented reality view;
- and
- enabling user interaction with the displayed 3D model view to update the 3D model of the [n] object in the 3D modeling system.
4 more elements
A computer aided design (3D) modeling method comprising:
- generating an augmented reality view of an environment, the environment having various objects displayed in the augmented reality view;
- in response to user interaction with one of the environment objects as displayed in the augmented reality view, searching a 3D database for a corresponding 3D model of the one object, the 3D database storing a 3D model of the environment from a 3D modeling system, said searching resulting in either obtaining the 3D model of the one object or generating the 3D model of the one object from a plurality of images;
- displaying a 3D model view of the one object overlaying on the augmented reality view of the environment and the one object in a mashed-up and aligned manner such that the 3D model view is displayed contemporaneously and contiguously to the augmented reality view;
- and
- enabling user interaction with the displayed 3D model view to update the 3D model of the environment in the 3D modeling system.
