CONFIGURING A 3D MODEL WITHIN A VIRTUAL CONFERENCING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17948480 titled 'CONFIGURING A 3D MODEL WITHIN A VIRTUAL CONFERENCING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure involves a system for configuring a three-dimensional (3D) model within a virtual conferencing system. The program and method provide an interface for setting properties for the 3D model, receiving user input for these properties, and displaying the room based on the configured 3D model during virtual conferencing.
- Explanation of the patent:
- System for configuring a 3D model in a virtual conferencing system - Interface for setting properties of the 3D model - User input for specifying image data to project onto the 3D model - Displaying the room based on the configured 3D model during virtual conferencing
Potential applications of this technology: - Virtual meetings and conferences - Virtual events and exhibitions - Virtual training and education environments
Problems solved by this technology: - Enhancing virtual conferencing experiences with customizable 3D models - Improving visualization and interaction in virtual environments
Benefits of this technology: - Increased engagement and immersion in virtual conferencing - Customization options for creating unique virtual spaces - Enhanced communication and collaboration in virtual settings
Potential commercial applications of this technology: - Virtual conferencing software companies - Virtual event planning and hosting services - Educational institutions offering virtual learning environments
Possible prior art: - Prior art related to virtual reality conferencing systems - Previous patents on 3D modeling and virtual environment customization
Unanswered questions: 1. How does the system handle real-time updates to the 3D model during virtual conferencing sessions? 2. What types of image data can be projected onto the 3D model, and how is this data integrated into the virtual environment?
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for configuring a three-dimensional (3D) model within a virtual conferencing system. The program and method provide, in association with designing a room for virtual conferencing, an interface for configuring a 3D model; receiving, via the interface, an indication of user input for setting properties for the 3D model, the properties specifying image data for projecting onto the 3D model; and in association with virtual conferencing, providing display of the room based on the properties for the 3D model, and causing the image data to be projected onto the 3D model within the room.
