Patent number: 9619942Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method, a system, and a mobile device that incorporate augmented reality technology into land surveying, 3D laser scanning, and digital modeling processes. By incorporating the augmented reality technology, the mobile device can display an augmented reality image comprising a real view of a physical structure in the real environment and a 3D digital model of an unbuilt design element overlaid on top of the physical structure at its intended tie-in location. In an embodiment, a marker can be placed at predetermined set of coordinates at or around the tie-in location, determined by surveying equipment, so that the 3D digital model of the unbuilt design element can be visualized in a geometrically correct orientation with respect to the physical structure. Embodiments of the present invention can also be applied to a scaled down 3D printed object representing the physical structure if visiting the project site is not possible.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2016Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Inventors: Sean Finn, Carlo Caparas, Erik Horbatiuk, Mike Heitman

Patent number: 9619944Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method, a system, and a mobile device that incorporates augmented reality technology and digital modeling processes. By incorporating the augmented reality technology, a 3D digital model of internal elements concealed behind an external element can be visualized on a live view, aligned to the orientation and scale of the scene displayed on the mobile device. In an embodiment, a marker can be placed on the external element. The 3D digital model of the internal elements can be retrieved by the mobile device and overlaid in relation to the marker position, orientation, and size so that it is seen at a calculated distance in depth behind the external element as they would exist hidden behind the external element in the real environment.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2016Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: F3 & ASSOCIATES, INC.Inventors: Sean Finn, Carlo Caparas, Eric Horbatiuk, Mike Heitman
