Abstract

Embodiments relate to supplementing a mixed reality system with information from a space model. The space model is a hierarchical or tree model of a physical space, where nodes represent physical places in the physical space and a parent-child relationship between nodes in the tree indicates a physical containment relationship for physical places represented by the nodes. The space model models containment relationships (e.g., building-floor-room) and does not necessarily include a two or three dimensional map of the physical place. Some of the nodes of the space model include representations of sensors and store measures therefrom. The mixed reality system includes a three-dimensional model possibly modeling part of the physical space. The mixed reality system renders views of the three-dimensional model according to the sensor measures stored in the representations.
