Publication number: 20240185525Abstract: A system and method of managing a model, such as a digital twin. The method may involve receiving three-dimensional model data representative of a setting, converting the three-dimensional model data into a simplified model using a parallel processing pipeline architecture, rendering the simplified model using a three-dimensional model rendering platform, converting a view of the rendered model from a specific position at a specific angle into a streamable format, and transmitting the streamable format of the view of the rendered model to an end-user terminal over a network connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2022Publication date: June 6, 2024Inventors: Bryan Landsiedel, Topraj Gurung, Tianyu Liang, Sergey Milenkiy, Peter Kammer, Paul Byrne, Lance Engle, James Beattie, Ehsan Barekati, David Bond, David Black, Bryan Woods, Bret Stastny, Benjamin Molyneaux, Jeremy Swanson, Timothy Jones

Publication number: 20200342681Abstract: In a system and method providing for interaction with virtual objects, and interaction between virtual objects, in an augmented reality, or mixed reality, or virtual reality, environment, detected conditions may trigger animated responses from virtual objects placed in a view of a physical environment. The detected conditions may include the detection of a user within a set threshold distance or proximity, the detection of another virtual object within a set threshold placement distance or proximity, the detection of particular environmental conditions in the view of the physical environment, and other such factors. Specific behavioral animations of the virtual objects may be triggered in response to detection of specific virtual objects and/or other conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2020Publication date: October 29, 2020Inventors: Alan Joyce, Douglas Muir, Mark Dochtermann, Bryan Woods, Tarik Abdel-Gawad
