A configuration system uses multiple depth cameras to create a volumetric capture space around an electronically controllable industrial machine or system, referred to as a target system. The output of the cameras is processed to create a live 3D model of everything within the space. A remote operator can then navigate within this 3D model, for example from a desktop application, in order to view the target system from various perspectives in a live 3D telepresence. In addition to the live 3D model, a configuration system generates a 3D user interface for programming and configuring machines or target systems within the space in a spatially coherent way. Local operators can interact with the target system using mobile phones which track the target system in augmented reality. Any number of local operators can interact with a remote operator to simultaneously program and configure the target system.

Example embodiments provide methods, mediums, and systems for making and evaluating changes to a model. According to example embodiments, checkpoints may be created as a user changes components in the model. The checkpoints may store changed components in the model that have been changed since a previous checkpoint, and a reference (e.g., a pointer) to the previous checkpoint. A user may freely create new checkpoints, revert to previous checkpoints, and select a checkpointed version of the model to be used as an official working version of the model. Upon activating an existing checkpoint, parametric relationships in the model assembly may be automatically updated in order to make components in the model consistent with each other. Thus, the user can readily change the model and evaluate variations of a design, while at the same time saving storage space by avoiding the need to repeatedly save different versions of the model.

Determination of interactions with predefined volumes of space based on automated analysis of volumetric video
One or more image and/or depth cameras capture images and/or depths of a physical environment over time. A computer system processes the images to create a static 3-dimensional (3D) model representing stationary structure and a dynamic 3D model representing moving or moveable objects within the environment. The system visually overlays the dynamic 3D model over the static 3D model in a user interface. Through the user interface, a user can create virtual spatial interaction sensors, each of which is defined by a volume of space within the environment. A virtual spatial interaction sensor can be triggered, based on analysis of the dynamic 3D model by the computer system, whenever a moveable object within the environment intersects the defined volume of the sensor. Times and durations of intersections can be logged and used for process refinement.
A display of an augmented reality-enabled (AR) device, such as a mobile phone, can be used to transfer a graphical object between a secondary display, such as a computer monitor, that is captured by a camera of the AR device, and AR space, where the object is visible only through the AR interface of the AR device. A graphical object can be selected through the AR interface and, for example, moved around on a canvas of the secondary display by the user of the AR device. When the AR interface is used to move an enabled object near an edge of the canvas or physical boundary of the secondary display, the object as shown on the secondary display can be made to disappear from the secondary display to be replaced by a virtual object shown only on the AR interface in a similar location.
A system and method can support image based determination of mobile device location through recognition of surface features for a previously scanned physical environment. The system and method can also support authoring and positioning of augmented reality features in an authoring interface using the same images and positions of surface features that are to be used for subsequent mobile device localization.

An HMD may not, however, provide a convenient interface for performing certain user-interface intensive tasks, which might be better performed on an additional device such as a mobile phone, tablet, or computer. During a shared augmented reality session, the additional device can be configured to communicate with a HMD such that certain tasks can be performed by the user through the additional device, and other tasks can be performed or experienced through the HMD. The additional device, the HMD and the remote user's device can communicatively coordinate during the session.

Processing uncertain content in a computer graphics system
An example method includes: obtaining, from computer memory, information from a three-dimensional (3D) graphical model that represents an object; identifying, based on the information, a first part of the object having an attribute; performing a recognition process on the object based on features of the object, where the recognition process attaches more importance to a second part of the object than to the first part, with the second part either not having the attribute or having less of the attribute than the first part; and providing data for rendering content on a graphical user interface based, at least in part, on recognition of the object performed by the recognition process.
A method allows transferring references from vertices, edges, and faces of a solid or surface model to an edited model, by finding correspondences between vertices, edges, faces, and bodies of the models. The method begins by quickly finding matching bodies and aligning them, considering factors such as size, complexity, and the location of its vertices, edges, and faces. For every pair of matched bodies, it then matches exactly coincident vertices, edges, and faces. Of the remaining unmatched topology, it matches edges and faces in the new model that overlap those of the old model considerably. It uses near-neighbor structures to speed up the search for correspondences by eliminating old-new pairs of vertices, edges, and faces that do not overlap. Finally, it iteratively matches unmatched vertices, edges, and faces whose adjacent vertices, edges, and faces are in exact correspondence between the old and new models.
Exemplary embodiments relate to methods, mediums, and systems for associating information, including critical-to-quality (CTQ) information such as minimum or maximum part dimensions, with parts in a three-dimensional model of a product. The information may be identified by performing a failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) against the model. The information is stored with the model data (e.g., in the form of an annotation applied to a model feature corresponding to the part in question). The model data may be consulted by product lifecycle management (PLM) applications during various phases of the product's lifecycle. Among other possibilities, the information may be used to automatically generate regulatory compliance documentation, to ensure product quality standards are met during a manufacturing process, or to perform postproduction quality monitoring of the product.
Generative design uses artificial intelligence to automatically create optimal designs from a set of system design requirements. A generative design system receives user-supplied design requirements and generates an optimized geometry by chaining iterative applications of computer aided generative design. In one aspect, the system uses the output of a first generative design process as a requirement of or as part of the design requirements for a second generative process, with or without intervening user input. In another aspect, the system enables designers to incrementally or iteratively specify and edit design requirements such that each resulting geometry is derived from a previously or most recently generated optimized geometry and optionally updated design requirements. The system, by using or reusing outputs and/or data from previous design iterations can produce subsequent designs more efficiently and quickly.

An example augmented reality system includes: obtaining information about an instance of a device; recognizing the instance of the device based on the information; selecting a digital twin for the instance of the device, with the digital twin being unique to the instance of the device; and generating augmented reality content based on the digital twin and an actual graphic of the instance of the device.
An augmented reality, mixed reality or virtual reality device is used to create occupational knowledge documentation, such as instruction and/or repair documentation for industrial equipment or processes. The device can be configured to capture time-synchronized data during a session in which an expert person, wearing or holding the device, performs a task to be documented. The data can include, for example, video data captured by a camera, audio data captured by a microphone within audio proximity of the camera, motion data captured by an inertial measurement unit physically fixed relative to the camera, and spatial data relating to locations of at least one of the plurality of objects within the field of view of the camera, wherein the spatial data is generated by one or more spatial sensors. The captured data can be automatically processed and used to render instruction on an augmented reality, mixed reality or virtual reality device.
A method for predicting variables of interest related to a system includes collecting one or more sensor streams over a time period from sensors in the system and generating one or more anomaly streams for the time period based on the sensor streams. Values for variables of interest for the time period are determined based on the sensor streams and the anomaly streams. Next, a time-series predictive algorithm is applied to the (i) the sensor streams, (ii) the anomaly streams, and (iii) the values for the variables of interest to generate a model for predicting new values for the variables of interest. The model may then be used to predict values for the variables of interest at a time within a new time period based on one or more new sensor streams.

In most of today's computer aided design (CAD), there are many definitive relationship between how components used in a CAD design relate to other components and feature in the same design. These relationships include sizing (a component is sized based upon another component), placement and orientation (a component is position and orientated based upon another component or feature). In addition, certain components can only be used with other specific components within the same design. Various attributes are placed on the CAD components and features that relate to each other that will be used to automatically size, place and orientate components, as well as make sure the component is valid to be used within the design intent. This saves designers considerable amount of design time as well as ensuring accurate component to component relationship as used in their design.
Communication between two electronic devices can be initiated based on detection of an object in the environment of one of the electronic devices. A method for object initiated communication between a user of a device and a remote individual for assisting the user in interacting with the object includes capturing an image with a camera of the device, detecting the object within the captured image, and locating a record for the detected object within a database of objects. The method can also include locating an identifier for initiating the communication with the remote individual, wherein the identifier is associated with the record of the detected object and identifies an address for initiating the communication. The method can also include initiating the communication between the user and the remote individual based on the identifier.

In a template design application, a user creates a template for a machine-readable image target that supports encoded data and augmented reality homography. The design application enforces design constraints that ensure reliable detection of the target by a detection application while supporting creative freedom in designing the template. The design constraints can include specification of a detection contour outlining a transition between a perimeter of a border shape and an adjacent area of a contrasting color. Data to be encoded is applied to the template to create printable image instances of the target. The template is also loaded into a detection application, which scans and recognizes printed instances of the target and decodes the encoded data. The detection application uses the decoded data to create a synthesized image target matching the scanned target and which is used to execute further tracking of the target within a moving field of view.

Multiple simultaneous representations are achieved through the capture essential geometry and topology in a master graph. Object information is captured in metadata associated with elements of this graph. An algorithm builds multiple domain specific representations based on the master graph and metadata. The summary of model objects is created based on metadata. Through this abstraction, desired representations (in this case for design and for manufacturing) may be generated and presented simultaneously with associativity.
A method is disclosed to model a part in the context of one or more assembly states. This method stores references of one or more states of one or more assemblies that a user wants to model a part against, and allows the user to reference surrounding parts from references of assembly states in one or more parametric features. Each reference of assembly with other necessary data is stored in a user object called a context. The assembly can be modified to move components as per desired motion while the part is modeled against one or more assembly states. Also provided is an interface to manage assembly states that are important for a part design for relating to other parts in the assembly. Such interface lets the user update one or more assembly states and associated features for each state at any time during design cycle.
A second touch zoom solution allows maintaining selection control, and movement of a selection point, during zoom operations not possible through traditional pinch-zoom. A first finger touch to a touch screen establishes a hot spot, selection, or one-finger gesture. Before the first finger is lifted from the touch screen, a second finger is placed on the screen and serves as a zoom control. Dragging the second finger away from the first zooms in; toward the first zooms out. Dragging the first finger does not affect the zoom, even if the motion changes the difference between the two fingers. When the second finger is lifted, the zoom level stays where it is. When the first finger is lifted, the zoom returns to the zoom level before the gesture began.

Methods and system for incremental exploration of design changes in large computer-aided design models
Example embodiments provide methods, mediums, and systems for making and evaluating changes to a model. According to example embodiments, checkpoints may be created as a user changes components in the model. The checkpoints may store changed components in the model that have been changed since a previous checkpoint, and a reference (e.g., a pointer) to the previous checkpoint. A user may freely create new checkpoints, revert to previous checkpoints, and select a checkpointed version of the model to be used as an official working version of the model. Upon activating an existing checkpoint, parametric relationships in the model assembly may be automatically updated in order to make components in the model consistent with each other. Thus, the user can readily change the model and evaluate variations of a design, while at the same time saving storage space by avoiding the need to repeatedly save different versions of the model.

Describe is a method for visually presenting, or previewing, changes to 3-dimensional geometry. In Onshape, a user may apply a sequence of configurable geometric operations in order to design a 3-dimensional model. When a user edits a specific operation, the method provides a way for the user to see the effects changes will have on a model. The method provides high-fidelity visualizations of the user's design as it would be before the operation is applied, after the operation is applied, and the operation's effects in conjunction with the effects of all operations in the sequence. The method also provides an interface for transitioning between these visualized states, allowing the user to effectively and efficiently understand the effect of the changes.
