Abstract: A method and system for linking a first virtual reality (VR) immersive space with a second VR immersive space. The method includes: generating a portal in the first VR immersive space, the first VR immersive space having a first website displayed on a surface of the first VR immersive space; associating an internet link to the second VR immersive space with the portal, the internet link being part of the first website to link to a second website; rendering the second VR immersive space, the second VR immersive space having the second website displayed on a surface of the second VR immersive space; providing a preview of the second VR immersive space on a surface of the portal located in the first VR immersive space; and virtually placing a user in the second VR immersive space when the portal is selected by the user.

Abstract: A method is for estimating a three-dimensional (3D) representation of a set of two-dimensional (2D) curves of a concept drawing, the estimate of the 3D representation corresponding to a 3D object underlying the concept drawing. The method comprises: obtaining a representation of a set of 2D curves a concept drawing that represent a 3D object underlying the concept drawing; determining an energy function based on the set of 2D curves, the energy function comprising one or more terms, each term reflective of a preference for a 3D representation based on a characteristic of the 2D curves which reflects how concept drawings are commonly perceived to represent 3D objects; and performing an optimization which minimizes the energy function to thereby determine the 3D representation.

Abstract: A method and system for translating a legacy web page into a three-dimensional virtual reality (VR) immersive space. The method includes: inspecting the legacy web page; extracting Document Object Model (DOM) elements from the legacy web page; generating a corresponding three-dimensional VR immersive space; placing DOM elements into the three-dimensional VR immersive space; and virtually placing a user in the three-dimensional VR immersive space.

Abstract: A multiscale data engine is configured to generate a three-dimensional (3D) environment based on a multiscale 3D dataset. The multiscale data engine is also configured to generate a spatial hierarchy within the 3D environment by selectively grouping 3D objects within the 3D environment. The multiscale data engine is further configured to identify specific 3D objects within the 3D environment in response to input received from an end-user and based on spatial properties associated with the 3D objects. The multiscale data engine is also configured to generate various navigation graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that allow the end-user to navigate the 3D environment.

Abstract: A method and system for interactive 3D surgical planning are provided.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for providing an end user with a multiscale three-dimensional (3D) navigation experience in design software application programs. An adaptive multiscale 3D navigation system allows an end user to transition between a planetary scale down to an individual building scale. The end user may navigate within the building, inspecting object details within the building. The size of the environment is sensed automatically, and the viewing and travel parameters are adjusted accordingly to provide the end user with a seamless navigation experience. A consistent navigation experience is supported at various scales, and real-time collision detection is provided. Scale computation for 3D scenes and collision detection may be based on a generated depth cubemap of the environment.
