Abstract

Methods and apparatus to facilitate 3D object visualization and manipulation across multiple devices are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein include a viewpoint determiner, a visible shard determiner, and a laminate assembler. The viewpoint determiner determines a viewpoint location of a viewpoint corresponding to a viewing device, the viewpoint location being in a reference frame of a three-dimensional (3D) model. The visible shard determiner determines a visible shard set of the 3D model based on the viewpoint location. The laminate assembler generates a two-dimensional (2D) image of the visible shard set.
