Abstract
A system and method for visualizing multiple datasets in a virtual 3-dimensional interactive environment. Multiple datasets may be related and virtually cast as 3-dimensional type structures. User interfaces, such as game controllers or headsets, may be used to present the dataset from differing perspectives including the appearance of moving through the data. Certain embodiments provide for mirror image views that allow for presentation of higher order datasets. Other embodiments provide for animation or motion indicia to show how the data is changing and the results on the display. The datasets may represent physical areas or virtual areas as well as demographic, sensors and financial information.
Core Innovation
The invention provides an immersive 3D interactive visualization system for multiple related datasets. It graphically represents a first dataset and a second dataset as three-dimensional structures and displays both structures on an augmented reality display device. A user moves through the data via controllers, headsets, and viewpoint changes to present a second perspective.
The system receives first data source information and second data source information and displays first and second three-dimensional structures at a first perspective, then alters the first perspective to present a second perspective. The move around the geographic location depends on user-defined filters or adjustments, where the first data source includes financial information and the second data source includes a geographic location.
Mirror image views are used to present higher-order datasets, and animation or motion indicia are used to show data change. The document describes interactive examples that correlate datasets through overlays and motion, including a person-centric data stadium where user-defined filters or adjustments move categorized audiences based on financial approval/sales thresholds and a geographic environment.
Claims Coverage
The document includes three independent claims: a method, a processor-readable storage device, and a system. Across these claims, there are two primary inventive areas: networked multi-source 3D representation in augmented reality with perspective alteration using a positioning transducer, and the specific pairing of financial information with geographic location where movement depends on user-defined filters or adjustments.
Augmented reality display with first and second three-dimensional structures at a first and altered perspective
Receiving first data source information and second data source information; graphically representing the first data source information as a first three-dimensional structure and the second data source information as a second three-dimensional structure; displaying the first and second three-dimensional structures on an augmented reality display device at a first perspective; receiving a user input associated with a positioning transducer associated with the display device; altering the first perspective to present a second perspective on the display device.
Financial information and geographic location movement controlled by user-defined filters or adjustments
Wherein the first data source includes financial information and the second data source includes a geographic location, wherein move around the geographic location depends on user-defined filters or adjustments.
Non-transitory processor instructions to perform networked financial/geographic AR 3D visualization with perspective alteration
A processor-readable storage device encoded with non-transitory processor instructions directing the processor to perform a method including receiving over a network a first data source information and a second data source information; graphically representing the first and second data source information as respective first and second three-dimensional structures; displaying the structures on an augmented reality display device at a first perspective; receiving a user input associated with a positioning transducer associated with the display device; and altering the first perspective to present a second perspective, wherein the first data source includes financial information and the second data source includes a geographic location where move around depends on user-defined filters or adjustments.
System for networked AR 3D visualization of financial information and geographic location with user-driven perspective alteration
A system including a processor configured to perform a process including receiving over a network a first data source information and a second data source information; graphically representing the first and second data source information as respective first and second three-dimensional structures; displaying the structures on an augmented reality display device at a first perspective; receiving a user input associated with a positioning transducer associated with the display device; and altering the first perspective to present a second perspective, wherein the first data source includes financial information and the second data source includes a geographic location where move around depends on user-defined filters or adjustments.
Across the independent method, processor-readable storage device, and system claims, the coverage centers on graphically representing first and second data sources as respective three-dimensional structures and displaying them on an augmented reality display device with perspective alteration driven by user input associated with a positioning transducer. The claims further specify that the first data source is financial information and the second data source is geographic location, with movement around the geographic location depending on user-defined filters or adjustments.
