Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) node location and activation technique for use in an AR system in a process plant or other field environment quickly and easily detects an AR node in a real-world environment and is then able to activate an AR scene within the AR system, which improves the usability and user experience of the AR system. The AR node location and activation system generally enables users to connect to and view an AR scene within an AR system or platform even when the user is not directly at an existing AR node, when the user is experiencing poor lighting conditions in the real-world environment and in situations in which the user is unfamiliar with the AR nodes that are in the AR system database.

Abstract: A system and method of training how to use a medical device using an instrument such as a mock ultrasound probe or syringe to be tracked in 3D space with six degrees of freedom using an internal optical camera, a light source (e.g. infrared LEDs), and a display of markers arranged on a surface. By extracting corner information for each marker, a 3D transformation can be established, allowing the system to know the instrument's position and orientation in 3D space relative to that marker. Each marker also encodes a numerical value corresponding to its predetermined position and orientation on the surface, allowing the instrument to determine its own position and orientation relative to the surface. Thus, as long as the instrument is able to see at least one marker on an optical surface, the system will know its full 3D position and orientation relative to the whole optical surface.
