  • Systems and methods of using mixed reality for interacting with a display system
    Patent number: 11651557
    Abstract: Systems and methods interacting with tabletop models are provided herein. A display system includes a tabletop model, including a horizontal display that is configured to display a two-dimensional digital map and a three-dimensional physical model that is configured to overlay the two-dimensional digital map. The display receives a selection of an object from a device of a display system and synchronizes a change to the tabletop model and the three-dimensional digital model that reflects the selection of the object.

  • Systems and methods of using a digital twin for interacting with a city model
    Patent number: 11561669
    Abstract: Systems and methods interacting with tabletop models are provided herein. A display system includes a tabletop model, including a horizontal display that is configured to display a two-dimensional digital map and a three-dimensional physical model that is configured to overlay the two-dimensional digital map. The display system includes a mobile device including a camera configured to generate a camera image. The mobile renders a model image of the three-dimensional digital and overlays a camera image of the tabletop model with the model image. The mobile device determines a selection of an object based on a touch position on the model image.

  • Systems and methods for interacting with a tabletop model using a mobile device
    Patent number: 11543931
    Abstract: Systems and methods interacting with tabletop models using a handheld device are provided herein. A display system includes a tabletop model, including a horizontal display that is configured to display a two-dimensional digital map and a three-dimensional physical model that is configured to overlay the two-dimensional digital map. The display system includes a mobile device including a touchscreen display. The display system transforms a movement on the touchscreen display to a movement of a cursor on the two-dimensional digital map.
