Abstract: Examples of the disclosure include a method for providing a simulated environment including displaying, at a human-scale point-of-view, at least a first portion of a simulated environment to a user in a first location; receiving one or more user inputs to transition to a large-scale point-of-view; storing a position and orientation of the user at the first location; displaying, at the large-scale point-of-view, at least a second portion of the simulated environment to the user; receiving at least one user input to transition back to the human-scale point-of-view; displaying, at the human-scale point-of-view responsive to receiving the user input, the at least the first portion of the simulated environment to the user at the first location; and locking the position and orientation of the user at the first location responsive to displaying the at least the first portion of the simulated environment to the user at the first location.

Abstract: According to one aspect, an architectural modeling system is provided. The system includes an input controller configured to generate one or more input signals, a display including a display screen, and a system controller configured to be coupled to the input controller and the display. The system controller is configured to generate a three-dimensional simulated environment, display a field of view of the simulated environment on the display screen, receive, from the input controller, the one or more input signals indicative of a three-dimensional movement of the input controller, generate, based on the one or more input signals, a virtual object represented as a polyhedral volumetric object, and display the virtual object in the field of view of the simulated environment on the display screen.

Abstract: Systems and techniques include, in at least one aspect, a method including receiving user selection of parts from a plurality of virtual parts to build a virtual 3D model in a modeling environment, receiving user instruction for modifying or assembling of at least one of the selected parts within the modeling environment, validating the user instruction against physical constraints of an associated 3D printer; and outputting the virtual 3D model for 3D printing on the associated 3D printer after the validating.
