  • Publication number: 20250384638
    Abstract: A computing device is configured to determine an initial position and orientation of the computing device within a virtual 3D model of a real-world environment, (ii) capture sensor data that is representative of the real-world environment surrounding the computing device, (iii) based on an analysis of the sensor data, detect an object in the real-world environment, (iv) compare the detected object to data defining physical elements that are represented within the virtual 3D model, (v) identify a given physical element represented within the virtual 3D model that matches the detected object, (vi) update one or more of a position, an orientation, or a presentation of the virtual 3D model in order to align the given physical element with the detected object, and (vii) cause a display screen to present the aligned virtual 3D model as overlaid virtual content on a view of the real-world environment surrounding the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20240104673
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is software technology that enables different accounts to be mirrored. In one aspect, the disclosed process may involve determining that an origin data record created under a first account of a first party is to be mirrored to a second account of a second party, generating a thread identification that is mapped to the data record created under the first account of the first party, and generating a first message that comprises data from the origin data record and the thread identifier that is mapped to the origin data record. Based on the first message, the disclosed process may further involve creating a target data record under a second account of a second party that corresponds to the origin data record created under the first account of the first party and storing the target data record under the second account of the second party.
