Abstract
An importation and transformation tool is disclosed for importing a computer-aided design (CAD) file into a server, transforming the CAD file into another file format, such as an animation or one or more still images, displaying the transformed file on a client device using a web browser or customized interface, and receiving data from a user for purposes of evaluating the product embodied in the design.
Claims20
A method of transforming a three-dimensional computer-aided design file into an animation file and displaying the animation file, comprising:
- obtaining, by a server over a network interface, the three-dimensional computer-aided design file generated using a first computer program;
- transforming, by a processor in the server, the three-dimensional computer-aided design file into an animation file;
- displaying, by a client device, an animation from the animation file using a second computer program;
- collecting opinion data of an item in the animation file;
- analyzing the opinion data;
- and
- providing, on the client device, interfaces to enable a user to manipulate the animation.
A method of transforming a three-dimensional computer-aided design file into one or more image files and displaying one or more images from the one or more image files, comprising:
- obtaining, by a server over a network interface, the three-dimensional computer-aided design file generated using a first computer program;
- transforming, by a processor in the server, the three-dimensional computer-aided design file into one or more images files;
- displaying, by a client device, one or more images from the one or more image files using a second computer program;
- providing, on the client device, interfaces to enable a user to manipulate the one or more images;
- collecting opinion data of an item in the animation file;
- and
- analyzing the opinion data, wherein analyzing the opinion data comprises weighting the opinion data of the item according to a correlation of the opinion data of a successful and unsuccessful previously released item to a commercial success value of the successful and unsuccessful previously released item, respectively, and wherein a value score is determined.
A method of transforming a three-dimensional computer-aided design file into one or more image files and displaying one or more images from the one or more image files in an augmented reality display, comprising:
- obtaining, by a server over a network interface, the three-dimensional computer-aided design file generated using a first computer program;
- transforming, by a processor in the server, the three-dimensional computer-aided design file into one or more image files;
- displaying, by a client device, a live view captured by an image capture unit;
- superimposing, by the client device, one or more images from the one or more image files on the live view using a second computer program;
- providing, on the client device, interfaces to enable a user to manipulate the one or more images;
- collecting opinion data of an item in the animation file;
- and
- analyzing the opinion data, wherein analyzing the opinion data comprises weighting the opinion data of the item according to a correlation of the opinion data of a successful and unsuccessful previously released item to a commercial success value of the successful and unsuccessful previously released item, respectively, and wherein a value score is determined.
