3D Property Inventory Capture for Faster Insurance Claims

The patent creates a virtual copy of the physical environment using VR/AR/MR technology. The system captures the three-dimensional space and generates a digital replica where objects can be identified, inventoried, and documented. This virtual copy allows for accurate inventory measurement without requiring complex physical measurement devices, as the system automatically detects and records object positions, conditions, and characteristics within the virtual representation of the environment.

The system enables self-service inventory creation by automatically capturing the environment through the wearable device's camera, identifying objects using image recognition algorithms, and generating the inventory list without requiring manual input. The virtual assistant provides guidance and confirms detections, but the core inventory creation process occurs autonomously. This eliminates the need for users to manually catalog each item, dramatically reducing the time required to create an accurate inventory for insurance purposes.

The patent creates a durable digital copy of the inventory and property condition records stored in the virtual environment. Unlike physical papers that can be destroyed by fire, flood, or other incidents, the virtual records persist in the digital system. The wearable device captures images and data that are processed and stored as a permanent digital record, providing reliable documentation that survives physical disasters. This digital copying approach ensures record preservation while the virtual assistant and automated systems manage the complexity of data collection and storage.

The virtual assistant serves as an intermediary between the complex VR/AR/MR technology and the user. It provides natural language guidance, explains detected objects, confirms inventory items, and assists with claim documentation. The virtual assistant translates complex technical operations into simple, conversational interactions, allowing users to benefit from precise object identification without needing to understand or navigate complex virtual reality interfaces. This intermediary layer maintains ease of operation while enabling sophisticated measurement capabilities.
