  • Patent number: 11120639
    Abstract: A computer system is provided that includes one or more processors configured to define a virtual model of a workspace that is world-locked to a three-dimensional environment by a pair of anchor points. The one or more processors are configured to adjust a fit of the virtual model to the workspace by adjusting a position of a virtual component of the virtual model relative to the pair of anchor points. The one or more processors are configured to receive telemetry data including position information indicating a location of a telemetry event relative to the pair of anchor points in the workspace, and determine a visualization model based on the virtual model of the workspace, and project telemetry data to the visualization model based on a mapping of a pair of points in the visualization model to the pair of anchor points in the virtual model.

  • Publication number: 20190340567
    Abstract: A wearable computing device is provided, comprising a camera and a microphone operatively coupled to a processor. Using both camera image data and speech recognition data, an object is detected and classified as an inventory item and inventory event. The inventory item and inventory event are subsequently recorded into an inventory database. Classifiers used to determine the inventory item and inventory event from the image data and speech may be cross trained based on the relative confidence values associated with each.
