==AUGMENTED REALITY DEVICE TO INDICATE A PLAN FOR TOOL USAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240037873 titled 'AUGMENTED REALITY DEVICE TO INDICATE A PLAN FOR TOOL USAGE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an augmented reality device that includes a camera, projector, and electronic processor. The processor is capable of identifying a power tool to be used by the user and can also identify a work piece based on the image data captured by the camera. The processor controls the projector to project an indication on the work piece, indicating the location where the operation of the power tool is intended to be performed.

* The augmented reality device includes a camera, projector, and electronic processor.
* The camera captures image data, while the projector projects information.
* The electronic processor identifies the power tool to be used by the user.
* The processor also identifies the work piece based on the captured image data.
* The projector is controlled by the processor to project an indication on the work piece, indicating the intended location for the operation of the power tool.

Potential Applications:
* Construction industry: Assisting workers in accurately performing tasks on work pieces.
* Manufacturing industry: Guiding operators in using power tools on specific parts.
* DIY projects: Providing step-by-step instructions for using power tools on various materials.

Problems Solved:
* Difficulty in accurately identifying the location on a work piece where a power tool operation is intended.
* Lack of guidance for users in performing tasks with power tools.
* Potential for errors or accidents due to incorrect tool usage.

Benefits:
* Improved precision and efficiency in performing tasks with power tools.
* Enhanced safety by providing clear indications of the intended operation location.
* Simplified user experience with step-by-step guidance and instructions.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

an augmented reality device may include a camera configured to capture image data. the augmented reality device may also include a projector, and an electronic processor coupled to the camera and to the projector. the electronic processor may be configured to identify a power tool to be used by a user of the augmented reality device. the electronic processor may be further configured to identify, based on the image data captured by the camera, a work piece on which an operation of the power tool is intended to be performed. the electronic processor may be further configured to control the projector to project an indication that indicates a location on the work piece at which the operation of the power tool is intended to be performed.
