Our client aimed to provide an immersive review experience by synchronizing a 3D model with its virtual view on a single webpage. The project leveraged Autodesk Platform Services (APS) Viewer to display 3D models and Matterport Viewer to showcase 3D scans, allowing users to interact with both in real time. ProtoTech Solutions was tasked with synchronizing camera movements and views between these two platforms, creating a seamless experience for users navigating the 3D model and its virtual counterpart.

Synchronize Camera Between Two Viewers: The key challenge was synchronizing the camera movement between the Autodesk Platform Services (APS) Viewer (which handles the 3D model) and the Matterport Viewer (which handles 3D scans). Any user interaction, such as mouse operations, needed to reflect in both viewers, despite their differences in rendering systems.
Coordinate System Differences: The 3D model in Autodesk Platform Services (APS) Viewer and the scan in Matterport Viewer were in different coordinate systems, with varying orientations and bounding boxes. This posed a major hurdle in synchronizing both views and ensuring interaction consistency.
Hotspot Synchronization: Hotspot Synchronization: Implementing a feature to create a hotspot in one viewer (either Autodesk Platform Services (APS) or Matterport) and having it automatically sync and appear in the other viewer, while maintaining accurate positioning and details, was another challenge.

To tackle the complexities of synchronizing two distinct viewing platforms, the ProtoTech team devised an efficient solution:

Camera Synchronization: The team overcame the challenge of synchronizing camera movement by finding a performance-efficient way to set the initial camera orientation in both viewers. By aligning the virtual view in Matterport with the Autodesk Platform Services (APS) model, the system could accurately handle user interactions and camera movements across both viewers.

Metaverse Concept: By leveraging the Metaverse concept, ProtoTech built an information bridge between the Autodesk Platform Services (APS) and Matterport viewers. This enabled real-time synchronization of camera movements and hotspot information, providing an immersive and connected user experience.

By successfully integrating the Autodesk Platform Services (APS) Viewer and Matterport Viewer, the project achieved remarkable results and benefits:

Immersive User Experience: Users experienced an enriched, immersive environment, seamlessly navigating between 3D models and virtual scans with synchronized views. This significantly enhanced design reviews and exploration.

Effortless Hotspot Synchronization: Hotspots created in one viewer were instantly synchronized in the other, simplifying communication and collaboration by making it easy to highlight key areas across both viewers.
Improved Design Accuracy: The precise alignment of the camera and model positioning in both viewers significantly improved design accuracy, allowing for more effective analysis and review of complex 3D models.
Enhanced Collaboration Efficiency: The seamless synchronization enabled by the Metaverse concept improved communication between the two viewers, streamlining feedback and collaboration, and ultimately accelerating project workflows.

ProtoTech’s innovative solutions and expertise played a pivotal role in making the project a resounding success, showcasing the boundless possibilities of 3D model review and visualization.
