VIRTUAL REALITY DESIGN NAVIGATION USING A TEMPORAL COLLABORATION DEPENDENCY MAP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18055911 titled 'VIRTUAL REALITY DESIGN NAVIGATION USING A TEMPORAL COLLABORATION DEPENDENCY MAP
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a computer-implemented method involving a 3D model of a device-under-design (DUD) and a collaboration dependency model to predict dependency relationships between design operations.
- Accessing a 3D model of a DUD using a processor system
- Receiving a first design operation associated with the 3D model
- Using a collaboration dependency model to predict a dependency relationship between the first design operation and a second design operation
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as product design, engineering, architecture, and manufacturing where complex 3D models are used in the design process.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in identifying and predicting dependency relationships between design operations, which can improve the efficiency and accuracy of the design process.
Benefits
- Streamlining the design process - Enhancing collaboration among design teams - Reducing errors and rework in design operations
Potential Commercial Applications
"Predictive Dependency Modeling in Design Operations" could be used in software tools for design and engineering firms, CAD/CAM software, and virtual prototyping applications.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of dependency modeling in project management software to predict task dependencies and optimize project schedules.
What are the limitations of this technology in real-world applications?
The technology may face challenges in accurately predicting complex dependency relationships in highly intricate and detailed 3D models.
How does this technology compare to traditional design methods in terms of efficiency and accuracy?
This technology offers the advantage of predicting dependency relationships between design operations, which can lead to more efficient and accurate design processes compared to traditional methods that rely on manual identification of dependencies.
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer-implemented method that includes accessing, using a processor system, a three-dimensional (3D) model of a device-under-design (DUD). The processor system is used to receive a first design operation associated with the 3D model of the DUD. A collaboration dependency model is used to make a prediction of a dependency relationship between the first design operation and a second design operation.
