How thingjs enables low threshold 3D visualization development

In recent years , You will be exposed to many platforms or systems related to the Internet of things , But positioning and the Internet of things 3D Visualization related is still rare . And in the last two years , Whether it's 3D Visualization is still a hot digital twin concept , Have led to the emergence of the concept of visual development platform .

ThingJS yes 2018 Launched in for the Internet of things 3D visualization PaaS Development platform , Until now, it is also the world's first visual development platform for the Internet of things . Youyu was first in 2012 Started in 3D Visualization , Up to now, it has accumulated nearly 10 Years of industry experience , Forming a complete tool chain , therefore ThingJS The platform is unique in the whole industry .

But why do you say ThingJS Platform is Google Maps The last hundred meters lost ？ Because in Google Maps It can be called 3D Of the scene , But basically to the park or building level , However, it is impossible to achieve further management and visual display at a lower level or more finely . therefore ,ThingJS The emergence of the platform is to solve Google Maps The last hundred meters “ distance ” Of .

ThingJS Platform positioning

ThingJS PaaS The positioning of the platform is to visually empower industry partners and solution providers of the Internet of things . The platform provides a complete set of 3D Design tool components 、 Massive 3D model base , Using such components and model libraries , You can be in ThingJS Build quickly in your system 3D scene . Based on the scene , utilize ThingJS Provided by the development platform API, Drive by command and control 3D scene , Combined with third-party data , Form the right side of the figure below 3D Visual industry applications .

ThingJS Platform characteristics

① For amounts 3D model base . There will also be relevant open interfaces in the resource library , Let partners use the interface to add more 3D resources , Also called ThingDepot.

② Provide efficient 3D Scene building tools . These scenes include Park level scenes , It also includes city level scenes .CampusBuilder Responsible for setting up the scene at the park level ,CityBuilder Responsible for setting up scenes at the city level , The constructed scene passes through the upper layer API To complete the application .

③JS Scripting language . utilize JavaScript Of JS Script as a development language , Can be said to be 0 The threshold , Because in the industry, whenever it involves development , The front-end web page class should be relatively simple ,JS It should be the lowest threshold at present , Compared with traditional 3D Visual development is much simpler .

ThingJS Development platform VS Tradition 3D Development

Let's make a simple comparison , Conventional 3D Visual development and application ThingJS Development from staffing 、 Development efficiency 、3D Scene making 、3D Model making 、 Compare the system deployment .

① First of all, from the personnel cost ,ThingJS There is no need to form a new team , Existing personnel can start to operate ;

② Development efficiency is due to ThingJS Formed a series of packages , There are a lot of quick code and advanced encapsulation , Unlike the traditional 3D Visual development should start from the bottom , Just touch JS Language or front-end engine , You can build a 3D Visualization applications , Greatly reduce development efficiency ;

③ The second is 3D Scene production and 3D Model making ,ThingJS Provide a series of tools and model libraries , Ordinary personnel can start the operation , No need to rely on professional modelers , Improve efficiency while reducing costs ;

④ Finally, the system deployment , Provide public cloud services and private cloud deployment , Debugging can be completed with simple operation .

therefore ,ThingJS promote 3D Scenario development efficiency can also reduce costs , And bring 10 Double the rise .

ThingJS Applicable industries of the platform

ThingJS Suitable for applications in various industries , Here or here ThingJS Projects of the platform itself in various industries . Such as security management 、 Fire management 、 Prisons 、 granary 、 Port and other applications . Digital plans of Beijing fire brigade and all fire control units across the country 、 And COFCO's projects are through ThingJS It's done by the platform . therefore ,ThingJS The birth of is polished by our accumulation and experience in various industries 3D Visual development platform .

ThingJS Platform development process

*2014 year ：ThingJS The front model of the platform is put on line . Moda is a 3D Scene building tools , Its system is the same as now ThingJS The system is very similar . at that time , Mock up can immediately build a simple 3D scene , Can dock data , adopt API Call to build an application , And it can also connect with various ready-made application systems of third parties . It was such a concept at the beginning , For the next three years , Are using this tool to do some sample projects , To verify our technology chain , At the same time, verify the use of platform-based methods to do 3D Whether visualization development is true .

*2017 year ： be based on WebGL Start developing ThingJS engine . As Google announced that it no longer supports traditional browser plug-in technology , therefore 2017 In, we began to change from a model engine to WebGL Engine to do , I'm going to call it ThingJS. The first reason for this name is “Thing” It is oriented to Internet of things applications , secondly “JS” Very clear ,3D Engine external API The standard is JS Language , As long as the front-end engineers can develop .

*2018 year ：ThingJS Official release , And at the Yunqi Conference ThingJS engine OEM For Ali IoT platform , meanwhile , We have also verified the use of the platform to do 3D The basic mode of visual application development .

Step1: utilize CampusBuilder、CityBuilder structure 3D scene

Step2: be based on 3D scene , Online or offline development SDK 3D application

Step3: Interface with IOT sensors or business data

Step4: Deploy online or offline

2021 year ：2018 Published in, up to now ,ThingJS The cumulative number of registrations reached 40 ten thousand , Create... With developers 34 ten thousand +3D scene , And implement new projects up to 14 ten thousand .

ThingJS Future outlook

① Developer ecology ： Support the developer ecology upward , Through the empowerment of our tools , Allow developers to complete their own digital twin applications . At the same time, it can precipitate on the platform , Subsequently, independent business income will be generated through sharing .

② Direct selling customers ： adopt ThingJS Project landing on the platform , If necessary, you can also help direct sales customers with project delivery , And form industry solutions for direct sales customers .

③ partners ： The platform enables and encourages long-term partners in relevant industries , adopt ThingJS Development , And form reuse on the platform and form corresponding transactions .

On the whole, the ecology will be more complete in accordance with three levels . From the bottom point of view , Mainly ThingJS The underlying engine API, Through capacity expansion, developers can take advantage of ThingJS platform , Can complete the basic product research and development .

Middle layer , The beginning of the year ThingJS Start pushing the configuration platform of zero code ThingJS-X, For partners who cannot invest too much development resources , adopt ThingJS-X The zero code configuration tool can complete the delivery of the project .

At the top , It is the products and solutions at the industry and regional levels , It can solve some complex digital twin applications , The whole forms a complete ecology in this way .
