SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCED SITUATION VISUALIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240013316 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCED SITUATION VISUALIZATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an augmented reality (AR) system that generates and displays an Enhanced Situation Visualization (ESV). The system includes an ESV computing device, a user computing device, and a reference database. The user computing device sends a reference request message to the ESV device, which includes an image of the user's current view. The ESV device determines the subject of the image, retrieves reference information from the database, and determines situation information specific to the subject. The reference and situation information are displayed on the user computing device to provide an ESV of the subject. The ESV can be used for insurance-related activities and instructional guidance.
