ADJUSTABLE VISUAL EFFECTS SIMULATING AUTO DARKENING LENSES IN AUGMENTED REALITY WELDING SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240346951 titled 'ADJUSTABLE VISUAL EFFECTS SIMULATING AUTO DARKENING LENSES IN AUGMENTED REALITY WELDING SYSTEMS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application relates to augmented reality welding systems that simulate auto-darkening lenses of welding helmets by applying visual effects to the simulated rendering when a simulated arc is present.
- The augmented reality welding system can adjust the visual effect based on user-adjustable settings.
- Users can modify settings such as shade, sensitivity, delay, helmet model/type, difficulty, realism, and effect area through a helmet interface or the system's user interface.
- These settings mimic those found on conventional auto-darkening welding helmets and include unique settings specific to the augmented reality welding system.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Simulation of auto-darkening lenses in augmented reality welding systems.
- User-adjustable settings for visual effects, including shade, sensitivity, delay, helmet model/type, difficulty, realism, and effect area.
- Emulation of settings found on traditional auto-darkening welding helmets.
- Inclusion of unique settings specific to the augmented reality welding system.
Potential Applications: The technology can be used in training programs for welders, industrial applications, and educational settings to provide a realistic welding experience in a safe and controlled environment.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the need for realistic welding simulations in augmented reality systems, allowing users to adjust settings to customize their experience and improve training outcomes.
Benefits:
- Enhanced training experiences for welders.
- Improved safety by simulating welding conditions in a controlled environment.
- Customizable settings for a personalized user experience.
Commercial Applications: Augmented reality welding systems with simulated auto-darkening lenses can be used in welding training facilities, industrial settings, and educational institutions to enhance welding training programs and improve safety measures.
Questions about Augmented Reality Welding Systems: 1. How do user-adjustable settings impact the visual effects in augmented reality welding systems? 2. What are the potential applications of simulated auto-darkening lenses in welding training programs?
Original Abstract Submitted
apparatus, systems, and/or methods are disclosed relating to augmented reality welding systems. in some examples, an augmented reality welding system is configured to apply a visual effect to a simulated rendering of the augmented reality welding system when a simulated arc is present, so as to emulate an auto-darkening lens of a welding helmet. in some examples, the visual effect is impacted by several user adjustable settings. the settings may be adjusted by a user, such as via a helmet interface and/or the user interface of the augmented reality welding system, for example. in some examples, the settings may emulate auto-darkening settings found on conventional auto-darkening welding helmets (e.g., shade, sensitivity, and/or delay). in some examples, the settings may also include other settings unique to the augmented reality welding system, such as, for example a helmet model/type, a difficulty setting, a realism setting, and/or an effect area setting.
