Abstract

A system comprising a Master station and a substation under the control of the Master station is able to generate graphical drawings of a multidimensional space in real time. Information regarding the physical dimensions of a multidimensional space and location an orientation objects and/or structures therein are exchanged between the stations. The Master station is able to automatically generate an N dimensional graphical representation of the multidimensional space in real time, i.e., as it receives information from the substation and as it obtains information with its own measurement devices. The Master station can display the multidimensional space to a user allowing the user to be guided (i.e., to navigate) within the multidimensional space.

Claims

1. A system comprising

a Master station;

at least one substation in communication with the Master station where the stations exchange information regarding measurements and identifications made in a multidimensional space to allow the Master station to generate automatically a graphical representation of the multidimensional space in real time.
