  • Three-Dimensional Massive Model Visualization Database System
    Publication number: 20180300326
    Abstract: A method and system for managing three-dimensional massive model visualization data sets. The method comprises compiling a vehicle list of vehicles for which the three-dimensional massive model visualization data sets are to be built. The method automatically builds the three-dimensional massive model visualization data sets for vehicles in the vehicle list using a computer system. The method stores the three-dimensional massive model visualization data sets in a group of repositories. The method distributes the three-dimensional massive model visualization data sets for displaying massive model visualizations for the vehicles using the three-dimensional massive model visualization data sets on client devices. The method may selectively update a three-dimensional massive model visualization data set in the three-dimensional massive model visualization data sets when the three-dimensional massive model visualization data set is out-of-date.

  • Locator system for three-dimensional visualization
    Patent number: 9292180
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for locating a part in an aircraft. A part is identified in the aircraft. A series of views is generated from a model of the aircraft with graphical indicators in the series of views configured to provide guidance to a position of the part in the aircraft. The series of views is displayed on a display device.
