Abstract
A system and a method are provided for visualizing virtual objects on a mobile device. A computing device is in communication with the mobile device. The computing device generates a 3D virtual world of one or more virtual objects corresponding to one or more physical objects in a real world. The computing device then associates information with the one or more virtual objects and generates one or more static images based on the 3D virtual world. The mobile device receives the one or more static images and the associated information associated from the computing device, and then displays the one or more static images.
Claims12
A computing device used for visualizing virtual objects on a mobile device, the computing device in communication with the mobile device, the computing device comprising a processor, memory and a communication device, the computing device configured to execute at least the following instructions:
- obtaining a 3D virtual world of one or more virtual objects corresponding to one or
- more physical objects in a real world, the one more virtual objects including a virtual fixture corresponding to a physical fixture;
- associating operational attributes of the physical fixture with the virtual fixture;
- generating a 2D or 3D image based on the 3D virtual world, the 2D or 3D image displaying the virtual fixture;
- sending the 2D or 3D image, the operational attributes, and a name of the virtual fixture to the mobile device;
- receiving the name of the virtual fixture from the mobile device;
- obtaining a static image of the 3D virtual world from a point of view of the named virtual fixture;
- and
- sending the static image to the mobile device;
- wherein the 2D or 3D image is configured to be displayed on the mobile device and the operational attributes are configured to be displayed on the mobile device in association with the virtual fixture, and the operational attributes further comprising at least one of power draw of the physical fixture and a data channel for the physical fixture.
A method performed by a computing device for visualizing virtual objects on a mobile device, the method comprising:
- obtaining a 3D virtual world of one or more virtual objects corresponding to one or more physical objects in a real world, the one more virtual objects including a virtual fixture corresponding to a physical fixture;
- associating operational attributes of the physical fixture with the virtual fixture;
- generating a 2D or 3D image based on the 3D virtual world, the 2D or 3D image displaying the virtual fixture;
- sending the 2D or 3D image, the operational attributes, and a name of the virtual fixture to the mobile device;
- receiving the name of the virtual fixture from the mobile device;
- obtaining a static image of the 3D virtual world from a point of view of the named virtual fixture;
- and
- sending the static image to the mobile device;
- wherein the 2D or 3D image is configured to be displayed on the mobile device and the operational attributes are configured to be displayed on the mobile device in association with the virtual fixture, the operational attributes comprising at least one of power draw of the physical fixture and the data channel for the physical fixture.
