Collaborative Modelling

3D Repo™ pre­serves 3D scenes and the as­so­ci­ated non-​​linear re­vi­sion his­tory of in­di­vidual scene com­pon­ents in aid of asyn­chron­ous col­lab­or­at­ive mod­el­ling. A unique 3D Diff tool high­lights dif­fer­ences between 3D mod­els and al­lows its users to in­ter­act­ively re­solve con­flicts what speeds up the mod­el­ling work­flow significantly.

NoSQL Techology

A cent­ral­ised 3D re­pos­it­ory is built on top of a do­main spe­cific NoSQL data­base Mon­goDB. Each scene com­pon­ent is stored and trans­mit­ted as a bin­ary doc­u­ment im­prov­ing on speed and ef­fi­ciency over al­tern­at­ive solutions.

Academic Pedigree

This frame­work is be­ing ex­tens­ively de­veloped by Jozef Doboš, Dr Niloy Mitra and Prof An­thony Steed in the Doc­toral Train­ing Centre in Vir­tual En­vir­on­ments, Ima­ging and Visu­al­isa­tion at Uni­ver­sity Col­lege Lon­don. The main spon­sors are Arup Foresight and the UK En­gin­eer­ing and Phys­ical Sci­ences Re­search Coun­cil (EPSRC).

See our pub­lic­a­tions for more details.

Flexiblity First

Flex­ib­il­ity first ap­proach is the para­mount prin­ciple in this frame­work. Hence, the plat­form can be eas­ily ex­ten­ded to fit into ex­ist­ing pro­duc­tion pipelines. We already have C++, WebGL and An­droid cli­ents de­veloped and are work­ing on more. In ad­di­tion, 3D Repo’s MongoDB-​​based solu­tion can be ex­ten­ded to sup­port vari­ous data types in­clud­ing build­ing in­form­a­tion mod­el­ling (BIM) and other representations.
