DYNAMICALLY ALTERING A CODE EXECUTION WORKFLOW DURING DEVELOPMENT USING AUGMENTED REALITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17806520 titled 'DYNAMICALLY ALTERING A CODE EXECUTION WORKFLOW DURING DEVELOPMENT USING AUGMENTED REALITY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computer-implemented method for dynamically altering a code execution workflow using augmented reality (AR). Here are the key points:

  • The method involves receiving virtual modifications of a source code from an AR device.
  • The user can virtually alter the source code on the AR device.
  • Based on the virtually altered source code, an altered execution workflow is generated.
  • The altered execution workflow is overlaid on the AR device.
  • The altered execution workflow is executed in response to a user request for testing the virtually altered source code.
  • The result of executing the altered execution workflow is displayed on the AR device.
  • If the user provides satisfactory feedback about the result, the source code is physically altered according to the virtually altered source code.

Potential Applications:

  • Software development: This technology can be used by developers to quickly test and modify code in an immersive AR environment, improving the efficiency of the development process.
  • Code debugging: Debugging code can be made more intuitive and interactive by allowing developers to virtually alter the code and see the immediate effects in the AR environment.
  • Collaborative coding: Multiple developers can use AR devices to virtually modify and test code together, enhancing collaboration and productivity.

Problems Solved:

  • Traditional code testing and modification processes can be time-consuming and require switching between different tools and environments. This technology streamlines the process by allowing virtual modifications and testing in a single AR environment.
  • Debugging code can be challenging, especially when trying to understand the impact of changes. AR provides a visual and interactive way to see the effects of code alterations in real-time.

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency: The ability to virtually modify and test code in an AR environment reduces the time and effort required for code development and debugging.
  • Enhanced collaboration: AR devices enable multiple developers to work together on code modifications, improving teamwork and productivity.
  • Intuitive debugging: Visualizing code alterations in an AR environment makes it easier to identify and fix issues, leading to more effective debugging.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for dynamically altering a code execution workflow using augmented reality (AR). A computer receives, from an AR device of a user, virtual modification of a source code, where the user virtually alters the source code on the augmented realty device. A computer generates an altered execution workflow, based on a virtually altered source code created in the virtual modification. A computer overlays the altered execution workflow on the AR device. A computer executes the altered execution workflow, in response to receiving from the AR device a user request for testing the virtually altered source code. A computer displays on the augmented realty device a result of executing the altered execution workflow. A computer physically alters the source code according to the virtually altered source code, in response to receiving from the AR device satisfactory user feedback about the result.
