Abstract
A construction visualization device generates a digital model of a structure for construction in a physical space. Notably, the digital model includes at least one model marker and the physical space includes at least one physical marker. The device also determines a viewing orientation of the digital model for display relative to the physical space based on the at least one model marker and the at least one physical marker. In addition, the device identifies a model position of a model part that corresponds to a physical position of a physical part of the structure, and displays at least a portion of the digital model based on the viewing orientation to indicate the model position of the model part.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- generating a digital model of a structure for construction in a physical space, the digital model including at least one model marker, the physical space including at least one physical marker;
- determining a viewing orientation of the digital model for display relative to the physical space based on the at least one model marker and the at least one physical marker;
- identifying a model position of a model part that corresponds to a physical position of a physical part of the structure;
- and
- displaying at least a portion of the digital model based on the viewing orientation to indicate the model position of the model part relative to the physical space.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor configured to execute one or more processes;
- and
- memory configured to store a process executable by the processor, the process, when executed, is operable to:
- generate a digital model of a structure for construction in a physical space, the digital model including at least one model marker, the physical space including at least one physical marker;
- determine a viewing orientation of the digital model for display relative to the physical space based on the at least one model marker and the at least one physical marker;
- identify a model position of a model part that corresponds to a physical position of a physical part of the structure;
- and
- display at least a portion of the digital model based on the viewing orientation to indicate the model position of the model part.
A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon, the instructions, when executed by a processor, are operable to:
- generate a digital model of a structure for construction in a physical space, the digital model including at least one model marker, the physical space including at least one physical marker;
- determine a viewing orientation of the digital model for display relative to the physical space based on the at least one model marker and the at least one physical marker;
- identify a model position of a model part that corresponds to a physical position of a physical part of the structure;
- and
- display at least a portion of the digital model based on the viewing orientation to indicate the model position of the model part relative to the physical space.
