Patent number: 12086376Abstract: This application generally relates to defining, displaying and interacting with tags in a 3D model. In an embodiment, a method includes generating, by a system including a processor, a three-dimensional model of an environment based on sets of aligned three-dimensional data captured from the environment, and associating tags with defined locations of the three-dimensional model, wherein the tags are respectively represented by tag icons that are spatially aligned with the defined locations of the three-dimensional model as included in different representations of the three-dimensional model rendered via an interface of a device, wherein the different representations correspond to different perspectives of the three-dimensional model, and wherein selection of the tag icons causes the tags respectively associated therewith to be rendered at the device.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2022Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: Matterport, Inc.Inventors: James Mildrew, Matthew Tschudy Bell, Dustin Michael Cook, Preston Cowley, Lester Lee, Peter McColgan, Daniel Prochazka, Brian Schulman, James Sundra, Alan Tan
