METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONVERTING 3-D SCAN DISPLAYS WITH OPTIONAL TELEMETRICS, TEMPORAL AND COMPONENT DATA INTO AN AUGMENTED OR VIRTUAL REALITY

摘要

An augmented - virtual reality (V) system-method permits users to interact with displayed static (S) and dynamic (D) components in a building information model ("BIM") having S-D data component tables. Realtime telemetric data in the D-tables is viewable with the spatially aligned V-ΒIΜ (aligned with 3-D facility scans). On command, the user views V-BIM-realtime, V-BIM-static, as-is visual 3-D scan, and S-D data component tables showing then-current telemetric data. A compatible BIM is created from a library of BIM data objects or P&ID. Insulation is virtually removed in the V-BIM using pipe flange thickness processed by the system from the as-is scan. D-tables include key performance indicators. With no telemetrics, user can display: V-BIM, S-D tables, as-is scan. With 3-D over two timeframes, V-BIM-t1 created by two static components, V-BIM-t2 created by V-BIM-t1 and a third static component, and a fully functional V -BIM with estimated BIM data is created.
