A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11967017B2) describes a computing system that utilizes computer-aided design software to render three-dimensional objects as semi-transparent silhouettes in a three-dimensional space. The system allows users to interact with the design by placing objects in the space and adjusting various properties of the silhouettes, such as color, weight, opacity, and shadow settings. Additionally, the system offers animation and sketch modes for the silhouettes, enabling users to create dynamic and visually appealing designs.

The patent also outlines a method for rendering three-dimensional objects as silhouettes in a three-dimensional space, emphasizing the use of color blending to achieve partial or full transparency. By allowing multiple silhouettes to overlap while maintaining transparency, the system ensures that all features of the design in the three-dimensional space remain visible. The method includes receiving user inputs to place objects in the space, adjusting properties of the silhouettes, and mimicking user motions through sensing data from attached sensors. Overall, the patent highlights an innovative approach to visualizing three-dimensional designs, offering users a versatile and interactive platform for creating and manipulating objects in a virtual space.
