  • Collaborative augmented reality system
    Patent number: 11275481
    Abstract: A method and system control navigation of a 3D CAD model in an augmented reality space. The 3D CAD model is rendered and appears as if the 3D CAD model is present in a physical space at true scale. A constrained translate or rotation mode is activated. In response to the activating, an axis triad is rendered. For translate, the axis triad is three lines extending from a point in each principal axis direction, and division markers are displayed along the lines at predefined division distances. One of the division markers is selected and the model is moved the predefined division distance of the selected division marker along the first line. For rotation, the axis triad is three perpendicular rings, and upon selecting one of the rings, an input gesture causes the model to rotate around the selected axis in the direction of the input gesture.
