REAL-TIME GEOSPATIAL COLLABORATION SYSTEM

Smart overview of the Invention

The innovation introduces a system designed for real-time geospatial collaboration within virtual three-dimensional environments. It supports interaction among users employing virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and standard desktop systems. As users engage with various elements in these environments, changes are instantly shared with all participants, ensuring synchronized collaboration.

Functionality

A core feature is the creation of virtual rooms where users can interact with defined elements. When a user initiates a room, others can join, regardless of their device type—VR, AR, or desktop. The system ensures that any action performed by one user on an element is immediately visible to others, promoting seamless real-time interaction across different platforms.

Technical Implementation

The system utilizes a hierarchical component-based model-view-viewmodel (MVVM) architecture to implement these virtual rooms. It also employs a real-time stream processor (RSP) to execute plugins that facilitate interactions. Network communications within this framework are secured using encrypted JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data, ensuring safe data exchange.

User Representation and Access Control

Users are represented by virtual avatars that mimic their real-world movements, enhancing the immersive experience. The system includes role-based access control, allowing or restricting interactions with certain elements based on user roles. This ensures that sensitive actions are only visible to authorized participants.

Applications and Advantages

The described system offers significant advantages for collaborative work environments by integrating diverse data sources like sensor feeds and network data into a single interface. It supports advanced visualization and interaction with multi-dimensional datasets powered by machine learning and AI, fostering enhanced decision-making capabilities in various domains.
