摘要:
A multiscale data engine is configured to generate a three-dimensional (3D) environment based on a multiscale 3D dataset. The multiscale data engine is also configured to generate a spatial hierarchy within the 3D environment by selectively grouping 3D objects within the 3D environment. The multiscale data engine is further configured to identify specific 3D objects within the 3D environment in response to input received from an end-user and based on spatial properties associated with the 3D objects. The multiscale data engine is also configured to generate various navigation graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that allow the end-user to navigate the 3D environment.
摘要:
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for providing an end user with a multiscale three-dimensional (3D) navigation experience in design software application programs. An adaptive multiscale 3D navigation system allows an end user to transition between a planetary scale down to an individual building scale. The end user may navigate within the building, inspecting object details within the building. The size of the environment is sensed automatically, and the viewing and travel parameters are adjusted accordingly to provide the end user with a seamless navigation experience. A consistent navigation experience is supported at various scales, and real-time collision detection is provided. Scale computation for 3D scenes and collision detection may be based on a generated depth cubemap of the environment.

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for providing an end user with a digital pen embedded with a spatially-aware miniature projector for use in a design environment. Paper documents are augmented to allow a user to access additional information and computational tools through projected interfaces. Virtual ink may be managed in single and multi-user environments to enhance collaboration and data management. The spatially-aware projector pen provides end-users with dynamic visual feedback and improved interaction capabilities.

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for providing position pegs between objects and a three-dimensional reference grid that is displayed in design software application programs. The reference grid appears infinite in space and scale. A position peg that includes a stalk and base is drawn between each object and the reference grid. The stalk indicates the height of the object above or below the reference grid, and the base is positioned on the reference grid. An inside radius of the base indicates the distance between the object and the reference grid. The position pegs are independent of the viewing projection and allow an end user to sense how objects in workspace relate to each other in terms of position and scale. The reference grid and position pegs provide an end user with reference imagery for camera-operation visualization and scene content understanding.
摘要:
A system and method for displaying a unified representation of performance related data for a building are disclosed. The system includes a sensor network for collecting data in the building and a computing device for generating and displaying a unified representation of performance related data on a display. The performance related data may include the raw data collected by the sensor network or data generated by simulation programs based on the raw data collected by the sensor network. The computing device displays the performance related data in the context of a graphical representation of a three-dimensional model of the building as defined in a building information model (BIM). The computing device generates the graphical representation using an ambient occlusion rendering technique and then incorporates the performance related data either using a direct rendering technique or a transient geometry technique.

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for providing a multiscale three-dimensional reference grid that is displayed in design software application programs. The reference grid appears infinite in space and scale. Depth cues are provided that are independent of the viewing projection to allow an end user to sense the orientation of the workspace and how objects in workspace relate to each other in terms of position and scale. Divisions of the grid represent real-world units that are determined dynamically, enabling smooth transitions as divisions are added and removed. The reference grid provides an end user with reference imagery for camera-operation visualization and scene content understanding.
