Abstract

Claims (28)

1. A method comprising:

obtaining a first multi-view interactive digital media representation (MIDMR), the first MIDMR generated by stitching together two-dimensional images of a first object captured using an image capture device at different positions to provide a three-dimensional view of the first object, wherein the first MIDMR is navigable by a user to allow the user to change a viewing angle of the first object along one or more axes;

obtaining a second MIDMR different from the first MIDMR, the second MIDMR generated by stitching together two-dimensional images of a second object; and

combining the first MIDMR and the second MIDMR to create a third MIDMR, the third MIDMR providing a three-dimensional view of the first object as well as an embedded three-dimensional view of a second object without rendering an actual three-dimensional model.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third MIDMR is a combined embedded MIDMR.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the third MIDMR includes a general view in which the first MIDMR is displayed for interactive viewing by the user on a user device.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the second MIDMR is not available for viewing in the general view.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the general view includes a selectable tag located somewhere on the first MIDMR, the selectable tag corresponding to the second MIDMR.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein selection of the selectable tag triggers a specific view to be displayed on the user device, wherein the specific view corresponds to the second MIDMR.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a user template to assist in execution of the steps in claim 1 .

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically generating a webpage once the third MIDMR is generated.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first object associated with the first MIDMR is vehicle and the second object associated with the second MIDMR is a subcomponent of the vehicle.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein viewing angles of the third MIDMR are manipulated by rotating the device or moving the device along a translational path.

11. A system comprising:

an interface configured to obtain a first multi-view interactive digital media representation (MIDMR), the first MIDMR generated by stitching together two-dimensional images of a first object captured using an image capture device at different positions to provide a three-dimensional view of the first object, wherein the interface is further configured to obtain a second MIDMR different from the first MIDMR, the second MIDMR generated by stitching together two-dimensional images of a second object, wherein the first MIDMR is navigable by a user to allow the user to change a viewing angle of the first object along one or more axes; and

a processor configured to combine the first MIDMR and the second MIDMR to create a third MIDMR, the third MIDMR providing a three-dimensional view of the first object as well as an embedded three-dimensional view of a second object without rendering an actual three-dimensional model.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the third MIDMR is a combined embedded MIDMR.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the third MIDMR includes a general view in which the first MIDMR is displayed for interactive viewing by the user on a user device.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the second MIDMR is not available for viewing in the general view.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the general view includes a selectable tag located somewhere on the first MIDMR, the selectable tag corresponding to the second MIDMR.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein selection of the selectable tag triggers a specific view to be displayed on the user device, wherein the specific view corresponds to the second MIDMR.

17. The system of claim 11 , further comprising generating a user template to assist in execution of the steps in claim 11 .

18. The system of claim 11 , further comprising automatically generating a webpage once the third MIDMR is generated.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first object associated with the first MIDMR is vehicle and the second object associated with the second MIDMR is a subcomponent of the vehicle.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by a computer, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:

obtaining a first multi-view interactive digital media representation (MIDMR), the first MIDMR generated by stitching together two-dimensional images of a first object captured using an image capture device at different positions to provide a three-dimensional view of the first object, wherein the first MIDMR is navigable by a user to allow the user to change a viewing angle of the first object along one or more axes;

obtaining a second MIDMR different from the first MIDMR, the second MIDMR generated by stitching together two-dimensional images of a second object; and

combining the first MIDMR and the second MIDMR to create a third MIDMR, the third MIDMR providing a three-dimensional view of the first object as well as an embedded three-dimensional view of a second object without rendering an actual three-dimensional model.
