System and method for collaborative viewing of a four dimensional model requiring decision by the collaborators

摘要

A method and system for documenting collaboration by a team analyzing telemetry data, where the data is used to generate a three dimensional visual display modeling the objects and events recorded by the telemetry data. One of the collaborating team members controls display of the model, and each collaborator is able to interact with the visual display and to employ a virtual camera to display and record operation of the model from a perspective selected by the member. Collaborating team members enter time-stamped notes which are displayed in sequential order for all collaborators on a common portion of a display screen upon replay of the simulation. Each team member is provided with a microphone and audio gear to collaborate by voice with other members of the team. The notes and virtual camera views coupled to the simulation provide decision makers on the team with an improved understanding of the problem modeled by the simulation, thereby facilitating an improved decision.
