AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) MEASUREMENT DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240161417 titled 'AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) MEASUREMENT DISPLAY

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to augmented reality (AR) measurement display, where a user's preferred unit of measurement is selected based on historical data, and the measurement is displayed with a virtual object on the AR device.

• User's historical data analyzed to select preferred unit of measurement
• Virtual object associated with the measurement displayed on AR device
• Measurement of quantity displayed in preferred unit of measurement

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various fields such as:

• Engineering for on-site measurements
• Education for interactive learning experiences
• Healthcare for patient monitoring in real-time

Problems Solved

This technology solves the following problems:

• Providing users with personalized measurement displays
• Enhancing user experience with AR technology
• Improving accuracy and efficiency in measurements

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

• Customized measurement displays for users
• Enhanced visualization of measurements in AR
• Increased user engagement and satisfaction

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology has potential commercial applications in:

• AR devices and applications
• Measurement tools and software
• Education and training industries

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be AR measurement tools that display measurements in a standard unit without considering user preferences.

How does this technology handle different types of measurements (e.g., length, weight, volume)?

This technology could potentially have different virtual objects associated with different types of measurements, providing users with a comprehensive AR measurement experience.

Can users customize the virtual objects displayed for different measurements?

Allowing users to customize the virtual objects associated with measurements could enhance user engagement and personalization in the AR measurement display.

Original Abstract Submitted

aspects of the present disclosure relate to augmented reality (ar) measurement display. a measurement of a quantity in an environment of a user currently using an ar device can be received. a preferred unit of measurement (uom) for the measurement of the quantity can be selected based on an analysis of historical data of the user. the measurement of the quantity can be conceptualized by obtaining a virtual object associated with the measurement of the quantity. a command to display, on the ar device, the measurement of the quantity within the preferred uom and the virtual object associated with the measurement of the quantity can be issued.
