  • Publication number: 20130235029
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to devices and methods for displaying a sub-section of a virtual model. In certain aspects, methods herein involve determining a portion of a virtual model within a user's field of view, determining a maximum load value that can be accommodated by the device, and displaying a sub-section of the virtual model based upon the portion that is within the user's field of view and the maximum load value accommodated by the device. In other aspects, devices herein include hardware and software that cause a CPU of the device to determine a portion of a virtual model within a user's field of view, determine a maximum load value that can be accommodated by the device, and display a sub-section of the virtual model based upon the portion that is within the user's field of view and the maximum load value accommodated by the device.

  • Publication number: 20120066178
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to systems and methods for construction field management and operations with building information modeling. In certain embodiments, the invention provides systems for construction field management and operations, that include a central processing unit (CPU), and storage coupled to the CPU for storing instructions that when executed by the CPU cause the CPU to: encode and map data structures and data sets received from Building Information Modeling software; select particular data structures and data sets relevant to at least one person associated with a construction project; transmit the selected data structures and data sets to a user terminal operated by the person; receive inputs made by the person to the selected data structures and data sets; and synchronize and update the data structures and data sets received from Building Information Modeling software based on the inputs received from the person.

  • Patent number: 8022816
    Abstract: A system and methods are provided for field administration of a project, such as construction, maintenance, safety inspections or other projects involving the tracking of issues and one or more levels of review or approval in the closure of the issues. One or more radio frequency tags, each having an identifier, can be affixed to a physical component of a project. A storage device can store an issue list, wherein the issue list has one or more work items corresponding to the physical component of the project on which the radio frequency tag is affixed. User interfaces may be provided to allow interaction by stationary or mobile users with the issue list. The issue list on the storage device may provide better organization and/or a more efficient work flow, particularly during a close-out phase, or other phase of a project, involving the tracking of issues.
