Virtually viewing devices in a facility

This invention describes a method for finding the location of a real device inside a building by using a mobile phone. You would see a digital map of the building on your phone, tap on the virtual representation of the device you're looking for, and the system would then tell you where the actual physical device is located. This process helps with tasks like maintenance or setting up new equipment.

Why it matters: Mobile device capabilities for displaying and interacting with sophisticated 3D virtual environments, as described in the G06F3/04815 classification, have advanced significantly since 2021. This makes the creation and real-time mapping of digital twins for facility management more feasible and accurate.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedDigital twin software, mobile app, real-world mapping
