The user device may provide operations to generate a virtual reality (VR) architectural session including a toolbelt with a virtual selection tool for adaptation of at least one of an environment, an object and an avatar. The operations may further include to receive or select a selection spot on the object by a projection between the virtual selection tool and the object, receive or select an adaptation relative to at least one of the object, the environment and the avatar; and display the adaptation to the at least one of the object, the environment and the avatar in real-time during the VR architectural session.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for displaying a real-world vehicle in an augmented reality environment. The system employs a user device camera to obtain image data of an environment that includes a real-world vehicle. The system analyzes the image data to identify the vehicle within the environment. A wireframe model of the vehicle is then generated and registered to the vehicle. The image data is displayed on the user device. In response to user input, the system may then attach a virtual vehicle accessory to the wireframe model. The accessory is then displayed on the user device display in an augmented reality environment such that the vehicle appears to seamlessly incorporate the accessory.

In example embodiments, techniques are provided for visually comparing digital content for an infrastructure project according to time using 4-D construction modeling software. The 4-D construction modeling software includes a cloud-based 4-D comparison service and a local 4-D modeling client. The 4-D comparison service includes a digital content alignment service and a 4-D difference engine. The digital content alignment service aligns different pieces of digital content and produces views that provide visual comparison between different pieces of digital content. The 4-D difference engine automatically determines differences between different pieces of digital content. The 4-D modeling client includes a 4-D comparison user interface (UI) process that receives user input used to generate, and then displays a generated visual comparison between different pieces of digital content. The 4-D comparison UI utilizes time control channels for selecting digital content and comparison controls for selecting a type of visual comparison.
