Determining and/or generating a navigation path through a captured three-dimensional model rendered on a device
Systems and techniques for determining and/or generating a navigation path through a three-dimensional (3D) model are presented. At least one waypoint location within a captured 3D model of an architectural environment is determined. A path within the captured 3D model, to navigate between a first location associated with the captured 3D model and a second location associated with the captured 3D model, is determined based on the at least one waypoint location. Visual data indicative of 2D data or 3D data of the captured 3D model along the path is transmitted to a remote client device to simulate navigation of the path within the captured 3D model between the first location and the second location.
