Methods and systems for three-dimensional model sharing
Examples of the disclosure describe systems and methods for decomposing and sharing 3D models. In an example method, a first version of a virtual three-dimensional model is displayed via a display of a wearable head device. A request is made to a host device for data associated with a second version of the virtual three-dimensional model, wherein the second version of the virtual three-dimensional model comprises a constituent part. It is determined whether the first version of the virtual three-dimensional model comprises the constituent part. In accordance with a determination that the first version of the virtual three-dimensional model does not comprise the constituent part, a request is made to the host device for data associated with the constituent part. The second version of the virtual three-dimensional model is displayed, via the display of the wearable head device. In accordance with a determination that the first version of the virtual three-dimensional model comprises the constituent part, a request is not made to the host device for data associated with the constituent part.
1. A system comprising:
a host computing system; and
a client computing system comprising a head-wearable display system,
wherein the host computing system comprises one or more processors configured to execute a method comprising:
accessing a virtual three-dimensional model stored in a memory;
decomposing the virtual three-dimensional model into one or more constituent parts, wherein the one or more constituent parts comprises a group of constituent parts comprising mesh data, texture data, or a combination thereof;
determining whether the client computing system is connected to the host computing system;
in accordance with a determination that the client computing system is connected to the host computing system, sending, to the client computing system, a library comprising the one or more constituent parts, the library corresponding to the virtual three-dimensional model;
receiving a constituent part request from the client computing system; and
sending one or more constituent parts that correspond to the constituent part request to the client computing system;
wherein the client computing system comprises one or more processors configured to execute a method comprising:
receiving the library of the one or more constituent parts from the host computing system;
determining a requested part to be included in the constituent part request based on a comparison of the library of the one or more constituent parts and a client library of constituent parts;
sending the constituent part request to the host computing system;
receiving the one or more of the constituent parts that correspond to the constituent part request from the host computing system; and
composing a copy of the virtual three-dimensional model from the received one or more constituent parts.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the host computing system comprises a server.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the host computing system comprises a head-wearable display system.
4. The system of claim 1 , the method further comprising storing the one or more constituent parts in a memory.
5. The system of claim 1 , the method further comprising decompressing the one or more constituent parts.
6. A method comprising:
accessing a virtual three-dimensional model stored in a memory;
decomposing the virtual three-dimensional model into one or more constituent parts, wherein the one or more constituent parts comprises a group of constituent parts comprising mesh data, texture data, or a combination thereof;
determining whether a client computing system is connected to a host computing system;
in accordance with a determination that the client computing system is connected to the host computing system, sending, to the client computing system comprising a head-wearable display, a library comprising the one or more constituent parts, the library corresponding to the virtual three-dimensional model;
receiving a constituent part request from the client computing system;
sending one or more constituent parts that correspond to the constituent part request to the client computing system;
receiving the library of the one or more constituent parts from the host computing system;
determining a requested part to be included in the constituent part request based on a comparison of the library of the one or more constituent parts and a client library of constituent parts;
sending the constituent part request to the host computing system;
receiving the one or more of the constituent parts that correspond to the constituent part request from the host computing system; and
composing a copy of the virtual three-dimensional model from the received one or more constituent parts.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the host computing system comprises a server.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the host computing system comprises a head-wearable display system.
9. The method of claim 6 , the method further comprising storing the one or more constituent parts in a memory.
10. The method of claim 6 , the method further comprising decompressing the one or more constituent parts.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
accessing a virtual three-dimensional model stored in a memory;
decomposing the virtual three-dimensional model into one or more constituent parts, wherein the one or more constituent parts comprises a group of constituent parts comprising mesh data, texture data, or a combination thereof;
determining whether a client computing system is connected to a host computing system;
in accordance with a determination that the client computing system is connected to the host computing system, sending, to the client computing system comprising a head-wearable display, a library comprising the one or more constituent parts, the library corresponding to the virtual three-dimensional model;
receiving a constituent part request from the client computing system;
sending one or more constituent parts that correspond to the constituent part request to the client computing system;
receiving the library of the one or more constituent parts from the host computing system;
determining a requested part to be included in the constituent part request based on a comparison of the library of the one or more constituent parts and a client library of constituent parts;
sending the constituent part request to the host computing system;
receiving the one or more of the constituent parts that correspond to the constituent part request from the host computing system; and
composing a copy of the virtual three-dimensional model from the received one or more constituent parts.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the host computing system comprises a server.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the host computing system comprises a head-wearable display system.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , the method further comprising storing the one or more constituent parts in a memory.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , the method further comprising decompressing the one or more constituent parts.
