Patent ID: 8737721

Claim:
A system comprising: one or more processors; memory, communicatively coupled to the one or more processors; a content aggregator stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to construct a 3D object from a collection of two or more 2D images each depicting a real entity in a physical real world, the 3D object being constructed by combining the two or more 2D images based upon a respective image perspective; a 3D virtual environment stored in the memory to enable a three dimensional exploration of the 3D object; and a model component stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to: extrapolate a 3D geometric model from the 3D object, wherein the 3D geometric model comprises at least one of a weight attribute that reflects a physical real world weight of the 3D object or a chemical property that reflects a physical real world chemical property of the 3D object; utilize a value of information (VOI) analysis to identify one or more dimensional reduction settings; and analyze the 3D geometric model based at least in part on the one or more dimensional reduction settings to identify an object that is represented in the 3D geometric model.
