Filed:

Mar 30, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/436099

Inventors:

Elizabeth S. Baron - Saline MI, US
Daniel H. Orr - Belleville MI, US
Michael S. Volk - Royal Oak MI, US

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345 22

Abstract:

In a first virtual reality device having a processor and a memory, a virtual reality environment is created. A first stream of tracking data for the virtual reality environment is provided to a first display device that is geographically proximate to the first virtual reality device. The first stream of tracking data for the virtual reality environment is provided to a network for a second virtual reality device. The second virtual reality device is geographically remote from the first virtual reality device. The tracking data includes six degrees of freedom tracking information represented by X,Y,Z Cartesian coordinates, thereby allowing a perspective in the virtual reality environment to be shared between the first virtual reality device and the second virtual reality device.

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345619

Abstract:

A virtual environment, including at least one virtual element representing a component of an item is generated. The virtual environment is mapped to a physical environment that includes a physical mockup of at least a subset of the item. The virtual environment is provided to a display. The at least one virtual element is displayed in relation to the physical element according to the mapping.

International Classification:

G06T 15/00

US Classification:

345419

Abstract:

A computing device is used for creating a dimensional model of at least a portion of a product, the dimensional model including a range of possible conditions with respect to at least one component in the product. The dimensional model is used to create a set of geometries for the product, a geometry being a representation of at least a portion of the product, wherein each of the geometries corresponds to one or more of the conditions. A display is provided of a first one of the geometries, and then, upon receiving an input requesting a second one of the geometries, a display is provided of the requested second one of the geometries.
