RFID-BASED AUGMENTED REALITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17932570 titled 'RFID-BASED AUGMENTED REALITY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for RFID-based localization and mapping of an environment. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- Generating identifying information of a virtual object based on an RFID tag scan
- Retrieving a virtual object model or object model data based on the identifying information
- Generating display data of the virtual object model relative to the position of an augmented reality system
- Rendering the virtual object model on a display based on the display data
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as retail, logistics, and indoor navigation systems.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately localizing and mapping objects in an environment using RFID technology.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency in tracking and locating objects, enhanced augmented reality experiences, and streamlined inventory management processes.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include inventory management systems, indoor navigation apps, and retail store layout optimization tools.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be indoor positioning systems using RFID technology in retail stores or warehouses.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does this technology handle multiple virtual objects in a complex environment? 2. What are the limitations of using RFID technology for localization and mapping in certain environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques are provided for performing an RFID-based localization and mapping of an environment. In one embodiment, the techniques involve generating identifying information of a first virtual object based on a RFID tag scan, retrieving a first virtual object model or a first object model data based on the identifying information of the first virtual object, generating display data of the first virtual object model or the first object model data relative to a position of an augmented reality system, and rendering the first virtual object model or the first object model data on a display based on the display data.
