Method for Generating a Map for Augmented Reality Devices in an Industrial Facility - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044668 titled 'Method for Generating a Map for Augmented Reality Devices in an Industrial Facility
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for generating a map for augmented reality devices in an industrial facility. The map includes multiple subspaces, each containing multiple anchors. The method involves obtaining position information of a first subspace, determining a coordinate system for the first subspace based on the obtained position information and the anchors, and calculating the relative position and orientation of at least one neighboring subspace based on the determined coordinate system. The map is generated based on the position information of the first subspace and the relative position of the neighboring subspace.
- The method involves generating a map for augmented reality devices in an industrial facility.
- The map includes multiple subspaces, each containing multiple anchors.
- Position information of a first subspace is obtained.
- A coordinate system for the first subspace is determined based on the obtained position information and the anchors.
- The relative position and orientation of at least one neighboring subspace are calculated based on the determined coordinate system.
- The map is generated based on the position information of the first subspace and the relative position of the neighboring subspace.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Industrial facilities can use this method to create maps for augmented reality devices, allowing workers to navigate and interact with their surroundings more effectively.
- The method can be applied in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and other industrial settings to improve productivity and safety.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The method solves the problem of accurately mapping an industrial facility with multiple subspaces and anchors for augmented reality devices.
- It addresses the challenge of determining the relative position and orientation of neighboring subspaces based on a coordinate system.
Benefits of this technology:
- The method enables more precise and efficient navigation for workers in industrial facilities, reducing errors and improving productivity.
- It enhances the effectiveness of augmented reality applications in industrial settings, allowing for better visualization and interaction with the environment.
Original Abstract Submitted
