Google
is thinking to launch some application to make interactive SU models and show
them off in iPad or Android. But the idea is totally in primary stage.
Some months ago Limitless
Computing Inc.®, a provider of 3D mobile Augmented Reality, released SightSpace 3D for Android customers. It is the only mobile Augmented Reality application
for Google SketchUp™. It is accessible for the Android Market @r $14.99.
SightSpace
3D facilitates observation of Google SketchUp designs on Android devices with Augmented Reality capabilities which superimpose digital models over
prevailing physical environments. Stereoscopic 3D is accessible at the time of using
Augmented Reality wearing 3D glasses.
There are also some third party applications which can help users to upload 3D
models to their mobile devices.
Babel3D
Babel3D contains a supporting application for
3D visualization on mobile devices known as Glovius, accessible on both iOS and
Android based devices (including tablets). The users will be able to open large
3D model files and assemblies with sizes well away from the limitations imposed
by current mobile devices. One can get the applications for free on the Apple App
Store and in the Android
Market.
The application is compatible with SketchUp,
3DS, OBJ, STEP, IGES, JT, and other professional CAD formats like SolidWorks,
Catia, Pro/E, Inventor, and NX.
The application supports display of annotations (right now, only for JT), and section planes alongside the standard three ortho-normal directions. The users get the ability to interact with the model applying the touch interface - pinch to zoom, single finger drag to rotate, two finger drag to pan, and double tap on the screen to reset the model. The user will also be able to save and email snapshots from within the app.
The
potential user may connect to Babel3D from within these mobile apps and
download the files converted to the mobile optimized file format directly on
the device, and these can then be visualized on the app.
Walkabout3d Mobile
It
is a newly launched user-friendly application for the iPhone facilitating
SketchUp users to create and view the scenes of their designs directly on an
iPhone and allocate the view of their design ideas to their clients.
The
users can freely download WalkAbout3d Mobile in the iPhone App Store and is well-matched
with the Trial version of WalkAbout3d.
The
users can just click on the "Generate Panorama" button to produce the
panoramic views while walk through a SketchUp design and categorize and
illustrate each one to be demonstrated within the iPhone app.
The
users will be capable of discovering the accurate location of each panoramic
view on a map view within the app by geo-referencing a SketchUp model within
SketchUp. All location details will be placed into Walkabout3d mechanically.
Allocation
of scenes is performed by uploading the panorama project to webspace as per
your requirement, and a "user account system" is available on the
WalkAbout3d website providing users an simple way to get and distribute their
WalkAbout3d Mobile projects from.
A
tutorial demonstrating the workflow for generating the panoramic views in
WalkAbout3d is accessible here.
