In embodiments, a buyer, a seller, and an escrow entity have defined functions that facilitate transactions and help build in more trust into the marketplace.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for processing and/or transmitting three-dimensional (3D) data are presented. A partitioning component receives captured 3D data associated with a 3D model of an interior environment and partitions the captured 3D data into at least one data chunk associated with at least a first level of detail and a second level of detail. A data component stores 3D data including at least the first level of detail and the second level of detail for the at least one data chunk. An output component transmits a portion of data from the at least one data chunk that is associated with the first level of detail or the second level of detail to a remote client device based on information associated with the first level of detail and the second level of detail.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide systems and methods that facilitate computations that are publically defined while assuring the confidentiality of the input data provided, the generated output data, or both using homomorphic encryption on the contents of the secure distributed transaction ledger. Full homomorphic encryption schemes protect data while still enabling programs to accept it as input. In embodiments, using a homomorphic encryption data input into a secure distributed transaction ledger allows a consumer to employ highly motivated entities with excess compute capability to perform calculations on the consumer's behalf while assuring data confidentiality, correctness, and integrity as it propagates through the network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating three-dimensional models having regions of various resolutions are provided. In particular, imagery data can be captured and utilized to generate three-dimensional models. Regions of texture can be mapped to regions of a three-dimensional model when rendered. Resolutions of texture can be selectively altered and regions of texture can be selectively segmented to reduce texture memory cost. Texture can be algorithmically generated based on alternative texturing techniques. Models can be rendered having regions at various resolutions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating three-dimensional models with correlated three-dimensional and two dimensional imagery data are provided. In particular, imagery data can be captured in two dimensions and three dimensions. Imagery data can be transformed into models. Two-dimensional data and three-dimensional data can be correlated within models. Two-dimensional data can be selected for display within a three-dimensional model. Modifications can be made to the three-dimensional model and can be displayed within a three-dimensional model or within two-dimensional data. Models can transition between two dimensional imagery data and three dimensional imagery data.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is performed by a computer system. The method includes receiving a trigger to setup a target resource for remote control at a management system, wherein an operating system of the target resource enforces a transactional installation process for new software, wherein the operating system designates user-writable storage. The method further includes, responsive to the trigger, retrieving prerequisite client-side software of the management system. In addition, the method includes creating a remote connection to the target resource using an encrypted network protocol. Further, the method includes copying, via the remote connection, the prerequisite client-side software to the user-writable storage. Moreover, the method includes causing the copied prerequisite client-side software to be installed in the user-writable storage of the target resource, thereby bypassing the transactional installation process of the operating system of the target resource.
