Abstract: Shown is an apparatus for representing a spatial image of an object in a virtual environment. The apparatus includes a first image capturing element configured to generate a first stereoscopic image data stream of an environment. A second image capturing element may generate a second stereoscopic image data stream of the object. A computing unit is configured to receive the first and the second stereoscopic image data streams, proceeding from a reference point, to generate a spatial image of the virtual environment based on the first stereoscopic image data stream and to insert, proceeding from the reference point, the object from the second stereoscopic image data stream into the virtual environment. A display element may, proceeding from the reference point, display the spatial image of the object in the virtual environment so that a viewer of the display element is given the impression of a 3D object in a 3D environment.

Abstract: A device for generating a model of an object with superposition image data in a virtual environment includes an image capturing element configured to generate an image data stream of the object as well as a calculating unit configured to extract, from the image data stream, a model of the object from a real environment, to insert the extracted model into the virtual environment, and to superpose at least part of the model with superposition image data so as to generate the model of the object with superposition image data in the virtual environment, and a display element configured to display the model of the object with superposition image data in the virtual environment.

Abstract: For generating data for two- or three-dimensional depiction of at least part of an object, a 3D model of the part of the object is generated while using a 3D image of the part of the object. While using the 3D model, data is provided which describes the vertices of the part of the object within the three-dimensional room and which describes the color values associated with the vertices. For generating a two- or three-dimensional depiction of at least part of an object, the data provided is transmitted, and a 2D or 3D image of the part of the object is generated while using the transmitted data.
