Patent ID: 8204299

Claim:
A system that facilitates capturing a portion of 2-dimensional (2D) data for construction of a 3-dimentional (3D) object, comprising: a device that captures a 2D image, the 2D image is representative of a corporeal object from a perspective dictated by an orientation of the device; the device comprising a content aggregator that constructs a 3D object from two or more 2D images collected by the device, the construction is based at least in part upon aligning each corresponding perspective associated with each 2D image, each corresponding perspective is dependent upon the orientation of the device; the device comprising a navigation component that provides a portion of guidance that instructs capturing a 2D image in accordance with a pre-defined structure in order to capture 2D content for the 3D object, the portion of guidance identifies at least one of a geographic location, a perspective, an angle for the device, an orientation for the device, or a zoom level for the device; and the device leverages a global positioning system (GPS) component that provides geographic data to facilitate providing the portion of guidance.
