Abstract: Individual bug fixed messages for software users that includes determining an occurrence of an error in software executing on a user processor. A unique error report identifier is stored in a memory accessible by the user processor and the error is reported. The reporting includes transmitting the unique error report identifier and error data that describes the error to a developer server. The error data is analyzed to determine a fix to correct the error. A message regarding the fix to correct the error is stored in a fixed error database. The software is launched and it is determined that the error was previously reported. The fixed error database is queried by the software with the unique error report identifier to locate the message. Based on locating the message, the message is downloaded and displayed by the user processor.

Abstract: A collaborative virtual reality (VR) online meeting platform that includes a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud data defining a virtual space, identifiers of a plurality of meeting participants, and meeting data that includes positions in the virtual space of a plurality of avatars that correspond to meeting participants. The system includes a processor that includes instructions to initiate an online meeting of the plurality of meeting participants. The initiating includes providing an address of the 3D point cloud to each of the meeting participants and transmitting a copy of the 3D point cloud data and meeting data to each of the meeting participants. A current location of each of the avatars in the virtual space is communicated to all of the meeting participants.

Abstract: A system and method of providing remote control of a scanner is provided. The system includes a laser scanner device rotatable around a first axis and that includes a mirror rotatable around a second axis. The system also includes a mobile computing device operably coupled for communication to the laser scanner. The mobile computing device includes a sensor to detect movement of the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device also includes one or more processors and computer instructions to perform a method that includes connecting to the laser scanner to transmit signals therebetween; detecting a motion of the mobile computing device; and causing the laser scanner to modify at least one of the first angle of rotation of the laser scanner about the first axis and the second angle of rotation of the mirror about the second axis in response to detecting motion of the mobile computing device.

Abstract: A method for optically scanning, measuring and displaying a point cloud is provided. The method includes emitting, by a laser scanner, an emission light beam and receiving a reflection light beam that is reflected from an object. A control device determines for measurement points projected on a plane corresponding to a screen, wherein at least some measurement points are displayed on a display device. One or more pixels are gap filled to generate a visual appearance of a surface on the display device. Wherein the gap filling includes a first horizontal search in a first direction of a first measured point of the measurement points followed by a second horizontal search in a second direction of the first measured point. The gap filling further includes a first vertical search in a third direction of the measured point, followed by a second vertical search in a fourth direction.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are provided for displaying three-dimensional measurement points on a two-dimensional plane of a display screen having a plurality of pixels. The method includes projecting the measurement points onto the plane. Each of the measurement points is assigned to one of the pixels. A depth value is assigned to each of the pixels. A first pixel is selected having a first measurement point and a first depth value. A first side is searched for a second pixel having a second measurement point and a second depth value. A second side is searched for a third pixel having a third measurement point and a third depth value. It is determined whether the second and third measurement points are on a same plane. The first depth value of the first pixel is changed when the second and third measurement points are on the same plane.
