Immersive 3D Visualization for Property Sales and Remodeling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing processes for remodeling and selling real properties and construction services are inefficient, requiring significant time and financial resources, with customers often unsatisfied due to the inability to visualize changes before implementation and the real estate sales process being burdensome for both buyers and sellers.
Innovation Solution
A method utilizing computing devices to create immersive three-dimensional images of selected products or properties, allowing users to view how changes or new structures will appear without actual construction, and facilitating the sale of manufactured products, construction services, and real properties by enabling users to select and visualize products and properties from various angles, reducing the need for physical visits and potential contract contingencies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional construction and remodeling processes are used, then physical structures can be built and changed, but the process requires significant time and financial resources and customers cannot visualize changes before implementation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates virtual copies of construction projects, rooms, and structures using computer-generated three-dimensional images. These virtual models allow customers to visualize and evaluate design options before actual construction begins, eliminating the need to wait for physical completion to see results.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical process of physical construction with a digital visualization system. Instead of building physical models or waiting for construction to see results, the system uses computer graphics and virtual reality technologies to substitute the physical construction process with a digital preview process.
2Productivity
If conventional real estate sales processes are used, then properties can be shown to buyers, but the process is time-consuming and burdensome for both agents and buyers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates virtual copies of real properties that can be viewed online or through immersive virtual reality experiences. Buyers can tour properties, view layouts, and evaluate features without physically visiting each location, allowing real estate agents to show multiple properties efficiently in a single session.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a digital dimension to real estate viewing by creating three-dimensional virtual representations of properties. This allows buyers to experience properties from multiple angles and perspectives remotely, eliminating the need for physical travel and enabling simultaneous viewing of multiple properties.
3Reliability
If conventional construction processes are used, then structures can be built, but changes must be made before construction to avoid costly modifications after completion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables customers to perform preliminary visualization and decision-making actions before construction begins. By allowing customers to view, evaluate, and approve design options in advance through virtual models, the system ensures that construction proceeds according to customer preferences, avoiding costly post-construction modifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses virtual copies to allow customers to experiment with different design options, materials, and configurations without any physical waste. Customers can change design parameters in the virtual model and immediately see results, eliminating the need to physically trial different construction approaches.
4Loss of information
If physical property visits are required, then buyers can see properties in person, but the process involves traffic, exhaustion, and difficulty remembering property details
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates detailed virtual copies of properties that preserve all architectural features, layouts, and characteristics. Buyers can review these virtual models repeatedly at their convenience, taking notes or saving properties of interest without the physical constraints of touring multiple locations in one day.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions property viewing from the physical dimension to the digital dimension, allowing buyers to access property information remotely and repeatedly. This digital representation preserves all property details in a format that can be reviewed without physical travel, reducing exhaustion and improving information retention.

AI summary
The method enables a user to see how a selected product or how a plurality of selected products look in an immersive three-dimensional scene that resembles an actual or real property to be constructed or updated, or the relevant portions thereof. Since the images of the scene are displayed immersively, the user can view the scene from any vantage point and at any angle just as if the user were walking around the actual property. The user can thus obtain a realistic impression of how the new or changed property will look and the approximate cost of the improvement without first constructing a new structure or implementing changes to an existing structure. This enables the user to view many different possible options in order to decide which option is most desired. The user can feel confident that corresponding changes made to the real property be pleasing to the user.
