==SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PEDESTRIAN GUIDANCE VIA AUGMENTED REALITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053162 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PEDESTRIAN GUIDANCE VIA AUGMENTED REALITY

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application relates to using augmented reality (AR) to enhance pedestrian navigation. It describes techniques where AR is used to provide indications of the location of a group member with multiple AR devices, determine their relative position, and provide navigational guidance. It also discusses AR-assisted pedestrian guidance, where AR displays present information for points of interest along a route.

* AR techniques are applied to enhance pedestrian navigation.
* AR indications are provided for the location of a group member with multiple AR devices.
* Relative position of the group member can be determined using AR techniques.
* Navigational guidance is provided to the group member using AR techniques.
* AR-assisted pedestrian guidance is implemented.
* AR displays present information for points of interest along a route.

Potential Applications:
* Pedestrian navigation and guidance in urban environments.
* Group navigation and coordination during outdoor activities or events.
* Tourist navigation and exploration of landmarks and attractions.
* Navigation assistance for visually impaired individuals.

Problems Solved:
* Difficulty in locating and coordinating with group members in crowded areas.
* Lack of visual cues and guidance during pedestrian navigation.
* Limited accessibility and information for points of interest along a route.
* Challenges faced by visually impaired individuals in navigating unfamiliar environments.

Benefits:
* Improved coordination and communication within groups.
* Enhanced navigation experience with visual AR cues and guidance.
* Increased accessibility and information for points of interest.
* Enhanced independence and mobility for visually impaired individuals.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

the following generally relates to using augmented reality (ar) to enhance pedestrian navigation. in some examples, ar techniques are applied to provide ar indications of a location of a group member that includes two or more ar devices. in these examples, ar techniques may be applied to determine a relative position of the group member and/or provide navigational guidance to the group member. in other examples, ar techniques are applied to provide ar-assisted pedestrian guidance. in these examples, ar techniques may be applied to present an ar display that includes information for a point of interest along a route.
