  • Patent number: 11825394
    Abstract: A computer-program product may cause one or more processors to store certain files and perform certain operations. The files may include one or more audio files, each being a sonification of a signal corresponding to one or more physical sensors located within a physical building. The operations may include rendering, from a point of view selected by a user, one or more images of a virtual model of the physical building and one or more virtual sensors. Each virtual sensor may be positioned within the virtual model so as to match a location of a corresponding physical sensor of the one or more physical sensors within the physical building. The operations may further include receiving, from the user, an instruction to play at least one audio file of the one or more audio files and playing, in response to receiving the instruction, the at least one audio file.

  • Patent number: 11600043
    Abstract: A computer program product may cause one or more processors to generate stereoscopic images of one or more 3D models within a 3D model space. As part of the generation of the stereoscopic images, special case surfaces that are non-flat and specularly reflective or refractive are rendered in a special manner. The special manner involves rendering a texture for the special case surface based on a third projection corresponding to a third viewpoint that is spaced from both a first viewpoint (i.e., a left eye viewpoint) and a second viewpoint (i.e., a right eye viewpoint). Accordingly, when rendering first and second images (i.e., images corresponding respectively to the first and second viewpoints), the texture corresponding to the third viewpoint may be applied to the special case surface in both the first and second images.
