Virtual Tour Mechanism

Mechanical (F16D 129/04) and using virtual or augmented reality (G06F 111/18)

Virtual tour of user-defined paths in a geographic information system

US7933395B1

Interactive geographic information systems (GIS) and techniques provide users with a greater degree of flexibility, utility, and information. A markup language facilitates communication between servers and clients of the interactive GIS, which enables a number of GIS features, such as network links (time-based and/or view-dependent dynamic data layers), ground overlays, screen overlays, place marks, 3D models, and stylized GIS elements, such as geometry, icons, description balloons, polygons, and labels in the viewer by which the user sees the target area. Also, “virtual tours” of user-defined paths in the context of distributed geospatial visualization is enabled. Streaming and interactive visualization of filled polygon data are also enabled thereby allowing buildings and other such features to be provided in 3d. Also, techniques for enabling ambiguous search requests in a GIS are provided.

My invention is related to this invention for the mechanical part of embedded motors, as well as the use of virtual reality glasses hardware and the relevant application from it, which has the ability to select the desired entertainment station. A three-axis gyroscope sensor is installed on the glasses to change the direction of the robot's camera according to the user's gaze, which is an advantage over this invention.

Three-dimensional virtual tour method and system

US7187377B1

A method and system that archive a three-dimensional site in a highly-compact manner such that real-time, three-dimensional exploration and interaction with the site with high-resolution graphics is enabled. During authoring, information is collected about a site, and processed into a walk map comprising a number of maps. A visibility map indicates which ones of the many polygons that make up a site are potentially visible from a given region. A collision map establishes where a can navigate in the site. A ground map tracks the terrain for reproducing camera heights and viewing angles, and a trigger map causes scripts to be fired from locations in the site. During navigation, only the maps relevant to a user's current position are active, whereby rapid rendering of an appropriate image for the user's current perspective is possible in real-time, providing a first person, perspective tour of the site in a perceived three-dimensional environment.

The above plan is related to a virtual tour using geographical data and the information is not live, but the plan is a bond that sends live audio and images of the environment and the person in his house with virtual reality glasses and a treadmill or bike trip and experience the virtual simulation.

Customizable robotic system

CA2817670C

A telepresence robot uses a series of connectible modules and preferably includes a head module adapted to receive and cooperate with a third party telecommunication device that includes a display screen. The module design provides cost advantages with respect to shipping and storage while also allowing flexibility in robot configuration and specialized applications.

The above design is a programmable robot that does not send any geographic information, while my invention is a robot that can send live images and can simulate a virtual tour.

Generating three-dimensional virtual tours from two-dimensional images

United States Patent 8705892

Interactive three-dimensional (3D) virtual tours are generated from ordinary two-dimensional (2D) still images such as photographs. Two or more 2D images are combined to form a 3D scene, which defines a relationship among the 2D images in 3D space. 3D pipes connect the 2D images with one another according to defined spatial relationships and for guiding virtual camera movement from one image to the next. A user can then take a 3D virtual tour by traversing images within the 3D scene, for example by moving from one image to another, either in response to user input or automatically. In various embodiments, some or all of the 2D images can be selectively distorted to enhance the 3D effect, and thereby reinforce the impression that the user is moving within a 3D space. Transitions from one image to the next can take place automatically without requiring explicit user interaction.

The above design combines two or more two-dimensional images and forms a three-dimensional scene that defines the relationship between two-dimensional images in three-dimensional space, but my design is a robot that moves around and in the form of Sends pictures live to a person. Also, a person with a bicycle or treadmill and virtual reality glasses can simulate a virtual trip.

Virtual Tour is a simulation of a real place created with the help of media files such as still photography, 360-degree panoramic images, video, text, narration and many more. This is a robot design that sends images live and a person can use a virtual tour online and live. This robot is a four-wheeled robot that has features such as a motor in a mechanical building and a suspension system for climbing bumps and having a modem to send ambient images and an HD camera with a 360-degree rotation mechanism for video and audio data with The modem links to the set and sends it to the user, and using hardware such as virtual reality glasses and selecting the desired entertainment station, the person rides a bicycle and puts the virtual reality glasses in front of his eyes, after establishing communication between VB glasses and the robot. , In proportion to the pedal speed and the direction of the two-wheeled steering wheel, the user changes his speed, movement and position, and the steering wheel of the bicycle is designed to physically transmit the bumps to the operator. It changes the direction of the robot's camera to fit the user.

Virtual Tour is a simulation of a real place created with the help of media files such as still photography, 360-degree panoramic images, video, text, narration and many more. Virtual tours allow people to visit and experience a place without really having to go there. In fact, the virtual tour has several points of view that you can navigate between. A virtual tour consists of several still images and video frames to give an overview of each subject from a different angle, for example showing a building from different parts or a beautiful view from different angles. The first use of the virtual tour dates back to 1994, when a museum tried to give its tourists the feeling that they had returned to an English castle in 1550. Since then, virtual tours have attracted many people and its popularity has increased day by day.

Virtual tour is a spatial program to display information. In fact, the spatial program is executable as part of the device that allows one or more users to create a virtual tour in the virtual environment, then the virtual tour is displayed in the virtual environment. So far, virtual tours in the form of photos, videos and audio have been used side by side, while the proposed virtual tour plan is online and live, and photos and videos have not been used. This invention uses tools and systems that significantly reduce the problems of previous inventions that did not exist in previous inventions.

In this design, by using the engine in a mechanical building in order for the robot to climb slopes of 30 degrees with natural roughness and have a speed equivalent to 20 kilometers per hour, in fact, for each wheel of the robot, a gearbox motor in the movement mechanism causes Eliminates the clutter of differential systems with output speed fluctuations, and also uses a modem that has a number of linked cameras to send ambient images and audio, which has a 360-degree rotation mechanism and 120-degree rotation height. And a person using a treadmill and bicycle at home by placing virtual reality glasses can enjoy their virtual journey. Also, after establishing communication between the glasses and the robot, in proportion to the pedal speed and the direction of the user's command, can move speed and direction. On the other hand, the two-cycle steering wheel is designed in such a way that, together with the encoder shaft, it has the ability to physically transfer some of the roughness to the operator.

Solution of problem

The presented device is a machine that is used for virtual or computer travel, in such a way that in a simple arrangement, it is a four-wheeled robot. The approximate length of this robot is 80 cm and its width is 45 cm and its height is 60 cm and its weight is 40 kg and its capabilities are as follows:

The mechanism used includes the engines used in the mechanical construction and the suspension system used, and the energy source, chassis, and composition are designed in such a way that this car can climb 30-degree slopes with natural roughness and on relatively flat terrain can move at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

In its drive mechanism, a gearbox motor is used for each wheel to solve the wastage problems of differential systems by increasing and decreasing the output speed.

In the front part, a GPRS modem is used to send environmental images and ambient sounds and gyroscope sensor slope data and geographical coordinates (GPS data), etc.
In the middle section, there are two 60 AH batteries for motors and one 10 AH battery for modems and CPUs.
In the back of the CPU and drivers of motors and sensors and electronic components are required.
In the cylindrical and dome part of the robot, which is made of glass, an HD camera with 360-degree rotation and 120-degree rotation is used, whose video and audio data path is directly connected to the modem.

Some of these robots will be located in a recreational station in a pleasant place (Eram Garden of Shiraz or Jooybar of Sari and Margon Yasuj Waterfall and Tehran Chitgar Park and similar places) under the supervision of a support person.

Another part of this system is a tool similar to a bicycle and another type of machine used in this part of the treadmill, which can be used in this part without general changes and similar to its original technical form, with the difference that it is on the four sides of the bicycle and treadmill. Bases consisting of elastic springs and pneumatic jacks have been used to mimic the vibrations caused by the robot's unevenness on the side of the bicycle or treadmill at home, together with the coupled pneumatic jacks.

Another hardware we use is virtual reality glasses: in such a way that an applicant buys a device from this bike or treadmill (according to the customer's choice) and a virtual reality glasses (Virtual BOX) and the relevant application first to the resident of the bike. It is placed in a place with relative silence at home and at the time (depending on the interest and possibility of each person) to start the trip, the user first selects the desired recreation station (in different countries) from the application and rides a bicycle or treadmill then reality glasses Puts the virtual in front of his eyes and after establishing communication between VB glasses and the robot, according to the pedaling speed and the direction of the user's bicycle, the robot (located in another city or country) changes its speed and direction of movement.

The bicycle steering wheel is designed in such a way that it has the ability to physically transfer some roughness to the operator along with the encoder shaft.

In the bicycle pedal section, the mechanical power transmission pulley is coupled to a generator, and based on the frequency monitoring of the generator, it is determined how fast the user pedals, and based on this frequency, the robot speed is synchronized with the bicycle pedal. A three-axis gyroscope sensor is mounted on the VB glasses to change the direction of the robot's camera to fit the user's gaze.

Another point is that the number of robots in each station varies depending on the number of requests and all four wheels of the robot are capable of command.
