==AUGMENTED REALITY WITH NON-LINE-OF-SIGHT PERCEPTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18355600 titled 'AUGMENTED REALITY WITH NON-LINE-OF-SIGHT PERCEPTION

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a mobile augmented reality system that uses RF signals to track items within an environment and generate a visual representation of their location on a display device.

* Receiver receives RF signals from items in the environment
* Tracking module generates tracking data based on the system's location over time
* Processors determine the location of items using RF signals and tracking data
* Visual representation of item locations displayed on the device

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be used in various industries such as:
* Navigation and wayfinding
* Inventory management
* Gaming and entertainment
* Real-time location-based advertising

== Problems Solved ==
* Improved tracking and visualization of items within an environment
* Enhanced user experience in augmented reality applications
* Efficient management of assets and resources

== Benefits ==
* Accurate and real-time tracking of items
* Enhanced user engagement and interaction
* Increased efficiency in various applications

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
* Retail stores for interactive shopping experiences
* Museums for guided tours
* Logistics companies for inventory tracking
* Entertainment venues for interactive games and experiences

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of RFID technology for tracking items within a specific area. Another could be the use of GPS for location-based services.

== Unanswered Questions ==

=== How does the system handle interference from other RF signals in the environment? ===
The system's ability to filter out unwanted RF signals and accurately track items could be crucial for its effectiveness.

=== What is the range of the RF signals and how does it affect the accuracy of tracking? ===
Understanding the limitations of the system in terms of signal range and tracking accuracy is essential for determining its practical applications.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

According to one aspect of the disclosure, a mobile augmented reality (AR) system can include: a receiver configured to receive radio frequency (RF) signals from one or more items located within an environment; a tracking module configured to generate tracking data responsive to a location of the system within the environment over time; a display device; and one or more processors configured to determine a location of at least one of the one or more items within the environment using the received RF signals and the tracking data, and generate a visual representation of the location of the at least one item for display on the display device.
