Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for generating and updating a 3D model of a structure as the structure is being constructed or modified is described. The structure may comprise a building or non-building structure such as a bridge, parking garage, or roller coaster. The 3D model may include virtual objects depicting physical components or other construction elements of the structure. Each construction element may be associated with physical location information that may be analyzed over time in order to detect movement of the construction element and to predict when movement of the construction element may cause a code or regulation to be violated. In some cases, a see-through HMD may be utilized by a construction worker while constructing or modifying a structure in order to verify that the placement of a construction element complies with various building codes or regulations in real-time.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for recording actual physical locations associated with one or more construction elements of a structure using a mobile device, comprising: acquiring a 3D map of the structure, the 3D map includes one or more virtual objects corresponding with the one or more construction elements, the one or more construction elements include a first construction element of the structure; identifying at the mobile device the first construction element within a fi…
