SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FINDING GROUP MEMBERS VIA AUGMENTED REALITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240054779 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FINDING GROUP MEMBERS 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. It also explains how AR can be used to determine the relative position of the group member and provide navigational guidance. Additionally, the application discusses AR-assisted pedestrian guidance, where AR is used to present information for points of interest along a route.
- AR techniques are applied to provide indications of the location of a group member with multiple AR devices.
- AR techniques can determine the relative position of the group member and provide navigational guidance.
- AR is used to present an AR display with information for points of interest along a route.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Enhancing pedestrian navigation by providing AR indications of group members' locations.
- Providing navigational guidance using AR techniques.
- Presenting information for points of interest along a route using AR displays.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Difficulty in locating group members in crowded or unfamiliar environments.
- Lack of clear navigational guidance for pedestrians.
- Limited access to information about points of interest along a route.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved coordination and communication among group members.
- Enhanced pedestrian navigation experience.
- Access to relevant information about points of interest during a journey.
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.
