3D Map View

[trebidav]

Idea

Use Google 3D Maps to make the user experience more immersive. Docs: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference/3d-map

Possible use

• 3D objects can be placed on the map (map editor would be cool!
  • https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/3d/models
  • Example use:
    • Click on the map as an admin
    • Select what you want to add (Task, Object, Modifier, ...)
    • Choose from predefined objects or generate with AI
    • (optional) Choose from User's objects or create new
• Users' locations can be displayed as 3D characters on the map
• Character's orientation vector can be computed through last two coordinates (can be computed on the fly directly to websockets, no need to save it to the model)
• Add pickables to the map (Modifiers)
• Add Task's 3D representation

Create objects

• Let users scan their surroundings with their phone's camera and transfer the scanned objects directly to the virtual 3D map
