Description

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRESENTING A PLAN TO A USER

TECHNICAL FIELD

The presently disclosed embodiments relate to the field of three-dimensional (3D) imaging systems. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for presenting a plan to a user.

BACKGROUND

Many exhibitions happen these days about different type of items and arts. For many people, exhibitions are a good way for demonstrating their skills. An exhibition can be a demonstration or public display of works of arts, items of interest that may be held in a museum or an art gallery, or at a trade fair. Usually these exhibitions have a fixed venue and fixed timings. Further, most of the exhibitions have a limit on maximum number of people who can come to see the exhibitions due to many limitations such as a size of the venue, timing, and so forth. Further, people also have their limitations like timing of the exhibition doesn’t suits them, or may be venue for the exhibition is far from their location. Therefore, many people who would want to view the exhibition sometimes are not able to view it due to these limitations. Also when people visit a place or an exhibition physically, then looking at the large number of people in the place, it becomes difficult to understand preference, interest of the people.

In light of above, there exist need for providing techniques to understand preference, interest of the people and enabling users to view or attend exhibitions as per their own convenience.

The three-dimensional imaging system of claim 1 further comprising an access managing module configured to authorize an access of the three-dimensional imaging system to the user based on a valid login credential for viewing the 3D virtual display of the place.
The three-dimensional imaging system of claim 1 further comprising a database configured to store and maintain data comprising users’ login credential information, history of the user, interest of the user, details about one or more products/services, information of the plurality of exhibition/place, virtual 3D display, the plurality of scanned images, one or more activities of the user while viewing the virtual 3D display.
The three-dimensional imaging system of claim 5, wherein the database is located on a remote device comprising a server.
The three-dimensional imaging system of claim 1, wherein the plan is generated in real-time.
The three-dimensional imaging system of claim 1, wherein the virtual 3D display is presented to the user via at least one of a web based system, an augmented reality device and a virtual reality device.
A method for suggesting at least one plan to a user for viewing a virtual 3D view of a place, the system comprising:

presenting, by a display managing module, the virtual 3D display of the place to the user such that the user feels as being part of the virtual 3D display, wherein the virtual 3D display comprises a plurality of scanned images;

sensing, by one or more sensors, a movement of the user within the virtual 3D display of the place;

analyzing, by an artificial intelligence engine, the sensed movement of the user, entered data comprising login credentials, and one or more parameters comprising a real-time interest of the user, a history of interests of the user, one or more activities of the user, and a behavior of the user;

generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a plan comprising at least one of one or more products/services, a path to be followed for viewing the one or more products, a time for viewing particular stalls having the one or more products/services for display based on the analysis; and

presenting, by the display managing module, the plan to the user.
The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more activities of the user comprises a time spent at a particular position by the user, an area of the 3D display of the place viewed by the user, and so forth.
The method of claim 8 further comprising authorizing, by an access managing module, an access of the three-dimensional imaging system to the user based on a valid login credential for viewing the 3D virtual display of the place.
The method of claim 8 further comprising storing and maintaining, by a database, data comprising users’ login credential information, history of the user, interest of the user, details about one or more products/services, information of the plurality of exhibition/place, virtual 3D display, the plurality of scanned images, one or more activities of the user while viewing the virtual 3D display.
The method of claim 11, wherein the database is located on a remote device comprising a server.
The method of claim 8, wherein the plan is determined in real-time.
The method of claim 8, wherein the virtual 3D display is presented to the user via at least one of a web based system, an augmented reality device and a virtual reality device.
