GENERAL

What is specialized in 3d-berlin?

We have made it our mission to improve the opportunities for indoor navigation, through the use of virtual reality technology (VR). This service is provided by the system "Guide3D.

 

What is Guide3D?

Guide3D is an interactive information and guidance system for 3D buildings and areas. It welcomes and informs visitors and helps with orientation and wayfinding. It seconds the following navigation relevant questions to be answered:

  • What is my position?
  • Where is my goal and how far away it is?
  • How do I get the best out there?

 

What is the problem starting position?

GPS navigation solutions are outside standard. In buildings, the GPS receiver is reduced to impossible. Once enter buildings such as airports, hospitals and shopping centers will have to painfully static plans of each floor are interpreted. A reasonable solution or a technical standard has not yet established.

For operators and owners of large buildings and built areas: for example, government, agencies and companies, department stores and shopping centers, airports and train stations, cruise ships, hospitals, apartment complexes, universities, libraries, fairgrounds, museums, hotels and zoos.

 

 

How Guide3D typically works?

In the entrance area, the user selects a touch screen terminal see his goal, too short, changes in demand once the perspective and is going seconds later accurately. Perhaps he invites his groundbreaking animation is still in its mobile browser, as he photographed the pop-QR barcode. Since Guide3D is browser-enabled, it can even prepare in advance for the visit (distance learning).

 

What Guide3D different from other control systems?

The system provides all relevant information in an ideal manner. Guide3D works with moving and real 3D images, wherein the calculated paths to the target and appear as paths. The view and the camera follows the path from source to destination. 3D images correspond to our perception and the way in which spatial data are processed mentally. In this case, the user can switch views at any time, possible by the unique approach of VR Guide3D.

All other digital Powdercoating work with cards, the path calculation is not even a matter of course. If a building's seven floors, then up to seven cards are behind and / or side by side display. It is missing the link between levels of a building, since cards only represent floor plans.

Indicative of the details and objects can not be presented as such. Guide3D shows not only the way, but also buildings and sites as a whole, continuous and real, in three dimensions and from different perspectives.

 

The user must remember the way?

Due to the 3D display, the information must be converted not only conceptually into three-dimensional form. It presents striking things that are recognized in the real world ("Land Marks"). A way that you seem to have gone before, you will find safe again.

You can also access the 3D animation is also in your mobile browser. It appears after each search, a short web address you can type in the phone browser and access to a QR code. It is enough to photograph the code. Its most advanced mobile phone reads the address and then open your way as a movie in the browser. With the short Web address you can therefore send you to your business, office, or even stand by email or SMS to guests and customers, they need look no further.

 

Takes the consideration of the Animation very long?

Our system answers where you have otherwise troublesome even work out an answer by studying the outlines of a building. With Guide3D Save time .. basically In addition, we adjusted the speed of the camera work perfectly. Long corridors, or the path, for example, between two expo's happened very fast (time lapse), complicated passages more slowly (slow motion).

 

What can the user look for ?

A target can be anything such as a person firmly located, an object, an area in one room, one floor, a building, a variety of rooms such as a department. It depends on the building and its function.

 

What are the benefits of Guide3D?

Read our reviews for Advantages & benefits and unique features.

 

What makes Guide3D unique?

Guide3D based on VR technology: Prior to the transfer to the terminal, the browser and the portable real-time animations that can be converted to film sequences.

These are not visually distinguishable from the original format. Also still at any time - and this is one of the essential characteristics of VR - the perspective to be changed. This high-tech approach is in your favor, because Guide3D is therefore platform independent, browser-compatible, provides various output devices and extremely stable.

Smart ways: in the first floor, for example, recommended the stairs, in the fourth but the elevator. Guide3D always recommends the best, not necessarily the shortest way.

Perspectives and occlusions: Change from the ego to a bird. You always see the avatar, so your representative on the way to the goal. The floors above it will automatically fade in and out.

3D Update: A hotel with 500 rooms to be supplied. If information on five types of terminals, then the 2500 and calculated distances with the respective insertion of the path and the meter accurate distance information. If, three perspectives are offered, then the 7500 animation. 3d berlin-than high-tech company found a way to create them. And so fast that in your building peaceful times change what can we update this.

HARDWARE

Where do you get the equipment and who installs it?

We will gladly arrange reliable hardware vendors that take care of everything. And remember, a terminal needs only an electrical outlet!

 

How much does the hardware?

A computer and a touch screen in a simple cost model, for example at a hotel front desk, around 500 €. And cost a good kiosk system must not exceed 2.000 €. Remember, a terminal needs only a power socket! We will gladly arrange reliable hardware vendors that take care of everything.

 

What devices can Guide3D use?

The system is platform independent and uses different output devices:

  • First place ... on terminals and kiosks (Browser in Kiosk Mode)
  • From the web browser home ...
  • From the move ... the browser of the mobile phones or PDAs

The user is therefore not a special portable device issued.


How many terminals with Guide3D up please?

The number of systems that you place in your building is desired. Even if they set up the terminals in different locations and thus present different Weganimationen.


Where should the terminal be?

You might want to place the terminal in the entrance areas and at the crossing points.


Who maintains the equipment?

We remote the system if it is accessible online, from a distance. For the hardware, there are outside companies that we can give you.

DATA

With what kind of data the system works?

    Subject data: for example, the location of an employee or tenant of a row of shops. This data can be or we edit on a browser window.

    3D geometry data: This is the consider the underlying 3D model of your building.

    3D network data: These are all possible paths within the 3D space. You Önner inputs, elevators, escalators and paths blocked easily.

 

What information do you provide?

Are advantageous architecture information, such as extracts of the vector or CAD data file of the escape and rescue plan. A map is also sufficient.

 

What about sensitive data?

You determine what information is made public.

UPDATE

As the customer manages his system? How updated?

Option 1: Updates can be provided as a service from us. You tell us what changes you want to make to the technical data and we use these desires to questions.

Option 2: Alternatively, you can be a self-explanatory web interface provided with the time you make updates to the attribute data itself.

 

The terminal must be permanently online?

To determine if the data are updated online and the device is controlled remotely. Changes can be saved at the center or the system may be such that no changes are necessary.

 

Can paths will be closed?

Guide3D can be designed so that you can report problems of elevators or escalators by web interface to the system. Then the user is offered an alternative route. Also, construction projects can thus be considered.

    A. You can select a detail level (basic, advanced or sensational) in your building or area to be displayed.

    B. The number of targets is determined.

    C. Optionally, services for interfaces, databases and updating as well as surface and GUI design are offered.

 

Can you earn money with the system?

This is an information system with capabilities of content management. This means that the operator can switch advertising, advertising can be displayed according to the dialing of the user and much more.

 

The customer gets delivered the geometry of the building?

If the production of the animations (the price depends primarily on the desired level of detail and number of targets) was paid, the 3D file to be transferred.
