SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PEDESTRIAN GUIDANCE VIA AUGMENTED REALITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053162 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PEDESTRIAN GUIDANCE VIA AUGMENTED REALITY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application relates to using augmented reality (AR) to enhance pedestrian navigation. It describes techniques where AR is used to provide indications of the location of a group member with multiple AR devices, determine their relative position, and provide navigational guidance. It also discusses AR-assisted pedestrian guidance, where AR displays present information for points of interest along a route.
- AR techniques are applied to enhance pedestrian navigation.
- AR indications are provided for the location of a group member with multiple AR devices.
- Relative position of the group member can be determined using AR techniques.
- Navigational guidance is provided to the group member using AR techniques.
- AR-assisted pedestrian guidance is implemented.
- AR displays present information for points of interest along a route.
Potential Applications:
- Pedestrian navigation and guidance in urban environments.
- Group navigation and coordination during outdoor activities or events.
- Tourist navigation and exploration of landmarks and attractions.
- Navigation assistance for visually impaired individuals.
Problems Solved:
- Difficulty in locating and coordinating with group members in crowded areas.
- Lack of visual cues and guidance during pedestrian navigation.
- Limited accessibility and information for points of interest along a route.
- Challenges faced by visually impaired individuals in navigating unfamiliar environments.
Benefits:
- Improved coordination and communication within groups.
- Enhanced navigation experience with visual AR cues and guidance.
- Increased accessibility and information for points of interest.
- Enhanced independence and mobility for visually impaired individuals.
Original Abstract Submitted
the following generally relates to using augmented reality (ar) to enhance pedestrian navigation. in some examples, ar techniques are applied to provide ar indications of a location of a group member that includes two or more ar devices. in these examples, ar techniques may be applied to determine a relative position of the group member and/or provide navigational guidance to the group member. in other examples, ar techniques are applied to provide ar-assisted pedestrian guidance. in these examples, ar techniques may be applied to present an ar display that includes information for a point of interest along a route.
