SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC INTERACTION WITH AN AUGMENTED REALITY ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240046581 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC INTERACTION WITH AN AUGMENTED REALITY ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

Methods and systems are provided for dynamic interaction with an augmented reality environment. In some embodiments, the systems and methods are directed at dynamically interacting with machinery within the augmented reality environment via an augmented reality device. The method involves analyzing a site in which the machinery is to be operated to capture environment data; displaying on the augmented reality device an augmented reality representation of the machinery as an overlay of a portion of an augmented reality environment; receiving an interaction request for interacting with the augmented reality representation of the machinery; determining whether the interaction request can be completed in respect of the machinery within the site; and in response to determining that the interaction request can be completed, displaying the augmented reality representation of the machinery in accordance with the interaction request, otherwise, indicating that the interaction request cannot be completed within the site.

• The patent/application describes a method and system for interacting with machinery in an augmented reality environment.
• The method involves analyzing the site where the machinery is located and capturing environment data.
• An augmented reality representation of the machinery is displayed on an augmented reality device as an overlay of the augmented reality environment.
• Users can send interaction requests to interact with the augmented reality representation of the machinery.
• The system determines if the requested interaction can be completed based on the machinery within the site.
• If the interaction request can be completed, the augmented reality representation of the machinery is displayed according to the request.
• If the interaction request cannot be completed, the system indicates that it is not possible within the site.

Potential Applications:

• Training and education: This technology can be used for training operators on how to interact with machinery in a safe and controlled virtual environment.
• Maintenance and troubleshooting: Technicians can use this technology to visually inspect and diagnose issues with machinery in real-time, reducing downtime and improving efficiency.
• Remote collaboration: Users in different locations can collaborate and interact with machinery simultaneously, allowing for remote assistance and knowledge sharing.

Problems Solved:

• Limited access to machinery: This technology allows users to interact with machinery virtually, even if physical access is restricted or not possible.
• Safety concerns: By providing a virtual representation of the machinery, users can practice and learn without the risk of accidents or damage to equipment.
• Costly training and maintenance: Augmented reality can reduce the need for physical training equipment and on-site visits for maintenance, resulting in cost savings.

Benefits:

• Enhanced visualization: Users can see a virtual representation of the machinery overlaid on the real environment, providing a better understanding of its operation and components.
• Improved efficiency: By allowing users to interact with machinery virtually, tasks such as training, maintenance, and troubleshooting can be performed more efficiently and with fewer errors.
• Remote collaboration: This technology enables experts to remotely assist and guide users in interacting with machinery, improving collaboration and knowledge sharing.
