  • Patent number: 10655969
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for determining and/or generating a navigation path through a three-dimensional (3D) model are presented. At least one waypoint location within a captured 3D model of an architectural environment is determined. A path within the captured 3D model, to navigate between a first location associated with the captured 3D model and a second location associated with the captured 3D model, is determined based on the at least one waypoint location. Visual data indicative of 2D data or 3D data of the captured 3D model along the path is transmitted to a remote client device to simulate navigation of the path within the captured 3D model between the first location and the second location.

  • Patent number: 10127722
    Abstract: This application generally relates to systems and methods for generating and rendering visualizations of an object or environment using 2D and 3D image data of the object or the environment captured by a mobile device. In one embodiment, a method includes providing, by the system, a representation of a 3D model of an environment from a first perspective of the virtual camera relative to the 3D model, receiving, by the system, input requesting movement of the virtual camera relative to the 3D model, and selecting, by the system, a first 2D image from a plurality of two dimensional images associated with different capture positions and orientations relative to the 3D model based on association of a capture position and orientation of the first 2D image with a second perspective of the virtual camera relative to the 3D model determined based on the movement.
