  • Publication number: 20240045562
    Abstract: A system displays a representation of a camera field of view including a first portion of a physical environment, captures depth information indicative of a first subset of the first portion, and displays, overlaid on a portion of the representation of the field of view corresponding to the first subset, an indication of an extent of the first portion for which depth information has been captured. In response to detecting movement of the field of view, the system: updates the representation of the field of view to include a representation of a second portion of the physical environment; captures depth information indicative of a second subset of the second portion; and updates the indication to indicate an extent of the second portion for which depth information has been captured, including displaying the indication overlaid on a portion of the representation of the field of view corresponding to the second subset.

  • Publication number: 20240011764
    Abstract: A computer system displays an annotation placement user interface that includes a representation of a field of view of one or more cameras that is updated over time based on changes in the field of view, a placement user interface element indicating a virtual annotation placement location. If the placement user interface element is over a representation of a physical feature in the physical environment that can be measured, the appearance of the placement user interface element changes in accordance with one or more aspects of the representation of the physical feature, and, in response to an input to perform one or more measurements of the physical feature: if the physical feature is a first type of feature, measurements of a first measurement type are made; and, if a second, different type of physical feature, measurements of a second, different measurement type are made.

  • Publication number: 20230377300
    Abstract: Generating a three-dimensional virtual representation of a three-dimensional physical object can be based on capturing or receiving a capture bundle or a set of images. In some examples, generating the virtual representation of the physical object can be facilitated by user interfaces for identifying a physical object and capturing a set of images of the physical object. Generating the virtual representation can include previewing or modifying a set of images. In some examples, generating the virtual representation of the physical object can include generating a first representation of the physical object (e.g., a point cloud) and/or generating a second three-dimensional virtual representation of the physical object (e.g., a mesh reconstruction). In some examples, a visual indication of the progress of the image capture process and/or the generation of the virtual representation of the three-dimensional object can be displayed, such as in a capture user interface.

  • Publication number: 20230368458
    Abstract: A computer system displays a preview of a three-dimensional model of a physical environment that includes a partially completed three-dimensional model of the physical environment that is displayed with a first orientation that corresponds to a first viewpoint of a user. The computer system detects first movement that changes a current viewpoint of the user in the physical environment to a second viewpoint and updates the preview of the three-dimensional model, including adding additional information to and rotating the partially completed three-dimensional model to a second orientation. While displaying a second view of the physical environment that corresponds to the second viewpoint, the computer system, in response to detecting a first input, updates the preview of the three-dimensional model in the first user interface, including rotating the partially completed three-dimensional model to a third orientation that does not correspond to the second viewpoint of the user.

  • Patent number: 11808562
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a representation of a field of view of a camera that includes a view of a three-dimensional space. The representation of the field of view is updated over time based on changes to current visual data detected by at least one of the one or more cameras. Movement of the electronic device moves the field of view of the camera in a first direction. While detecting the movement, the electronic device: updates the representation of the field of view in accordance with the movement; identifies one or more elements in the representation of the field of view that extend along the first direction; and, based at least in part on the determination of the one or more elements, displays, in the representation of the field of view, a guide that extends in the first direction and that corresponds to one of the identified elements.
