SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF LIFT TO FIND AUGMENTED REALITY GUIDANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240255285 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF LIFT TO FIND AUGMENTED REALITY GUIDANCE
The patent application describes systems and methods for augmented reality guidance, where a local device determines its position and the position of a target item in a specific area.
- The system generates route data from the device's position to the target item, tracks the device's movement, and activates the device's camera when it is close to the target item.
- Image data is received, and if the target item is within the image, an item highlighter is generated to indicate its position.
- If the target item is not in the image, a direction indicator is generated to show its position relative to the field of view.
Potential Applications: - Navigation assistance in indoor spaces - Retail shopping guidance - Tourist information and exploration - Industrial maintenance and repair tasks - Gaming and interactive experiences
Problems Solved: - Difficulty in locating specific items in a given area - Lack of precise guidance in unfamiliar environments - Limited interaction with physical surroundings in augmented reality
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience in augmented reality environments - Improved efficiency in locating and interacting with target items - Increased accuracy in navigation and guidance tasks
Commercial Applications: Augmented reality guidance systems can be utilized in various industries such as retail, tourism, manufacturing, and entertainment to enhance user experiences, improve operational efficiency, and provide innovative solutions for navigation and interaction.
Questions about Augmented Reality Guidance: 1. How does this technology improve user experience in indoor navigation? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing augmented reality guidance systems in real-world scenarios?
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in augmented reality technology focuses on improving tracking accuracy, enhancing image recognition capabilities, and developing more intuitive user interfaces for seamless interaction with augmented content.
Original Abstract Submitted
in various embodiments, systems and methods for augmented reality guidance are disclosed. a first position of a local device and a second position of a first item within a predetermined locale are determined. route data from the first position to the second position is generated and a position of the local device is tracked. in response to the position of the local device being within a predetermined distance of the second position, an image capture element of the local device is activated. image data is received. when the first item is within the image data, an item highlighter indicating a position of the first item within the image data is generated and when the first item is not within the image data, a direction indicator indicating a position of the first item relative to a field of view of the image data is generated.
