Processing and/or transmitting 3d data

A method, comprising:

• employing a processor that facilitates execution of computer executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium to implement operations, comprising:
• partitioning captured three-dimensional (3D) data associated with a 3D model of an indoor environment into at least one data segment;
• transmitting, to a remote device at a first instance of time, first 3D data for the at least one data segment at a first level of detail;
• and
• transmitting, to the remote device at a second instance of time subsequent to the first instance of time, second 3D data for the at least one data segment at a second level of detail that is different than the first level of detail in response to a determination that a viewpoint position associated with a rendering of the 3D model on the remote device satisfies a defined criterion.

A hardware server, comprising:

• a memory storing computer executable components;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the computer executable components to:
• partition three-dimensional (3D) data associated with a 3D model of an interior environment into at least one data chunk associated with an architectural element for the 3D model, transmit, to a remote device at a first instance of time, first 3D data for the at least one data chunk at a first level of detail, and transmit, to the remote device at a second instance of time subsequent to the first instance of time, second 3D data for the at least one data chunk at a second level of detail that is different than the first level of detail in response to a determination that a viewpoint associated with a rendering of the 3D model on the remote device satisfies a defined criterion.
