  • Patent number: 10636207
    Abstract: A system and method for generating a three-dimensional (3D) map of a facility is provided. The system has at least one processor and a memory having stored thereon instructions that, upon execution by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform functions comprising: receiving a two-dimensional (2D) map of the facility; converting or importing the 2D map to a base map; generating or editing polygons on the base map, each polygon representative of a facility unit in the base map; generating one or more perspectives at one or more points on the base map to generate the 3D map.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10489965
    Abstract: Systems and methods for positioning and orienting a virtual camera relative to an electronic map are disclosed. The system includes a communication network, a wayfinding server, and one or more user devices. The wayfinding server includes a wayfinding storage unit for storing electronic maps. The wayfinding processor is configured for providing an electronic map to the user devices. Each user device includes a user processor operatively coupled to a user memory and is configured for: receiving the electronic map; determining a set of target objects within the electronic map; determining a desired orientation of the virtual camera; generating a point cloud collection; generating a rotation matrix; generating an oriented point cloud; generating a three-dimensional bounding shape; calculating a desired position and orientation for the virtual camera; and providing the electronic map having a view from the virtual camera at the desired position and orientation for display.

  • Patent number: 10459598
    Abstract: There is provided a method and system for manipulating a 3D model displayed on a display. The method includes detecting one or more display engagement events from a user touch input, determining a location of each display engagement event to generate a corresponding display engagement point, capturing virtual camera state information of a virtual camera, generating and storing an model anchor point for each display engagement point, detecting movement of the display engagement point and capturing an updated display engagement point, and generating a transformation matrix including updated virtual camera state information.
