  • Publication number: 20250046078
    Abstract: The following generally relates to using Augmented Reality (AR) to enhance pedestrian navigation. In some examples, AR techniques are applied to provide AR indications of a location of a group member that includes two or more AR devices. In these examples, AR techniques may be applied to determine a relative position of the group member and/or provide navigational guidance to the group member. In other examples, AR techniques are applied to provide AR-assisted pedestrian guidance. In these examples, AR techniques may be applied to present an AR display that includes information for a point of interest along a route.

  • Publication number: 20240053816
    Abstract: The following relates generally to using augmented reality (AR) for inspection of a property. In some examples, underlay layer data may be received (e.g., from a camera of an AR viewer device); and overlay layer data may be received (e.g., from a different camera or other overlay layer device). An AR display may be created by correlating the underlay layer data with the overlay layer data. A property inspection indicia may be identified based upon the correlated overlay layer data.

  • Patent number: 9047762
    Abstract: The display system includes a display having a touchscreen input device. A processing system is operatively associated with the display. The display operates in a number of fixed modes. Each fixed mode has a single fixed format, each single fixed format having at least one fixed region, wherein the at least one fixed region has configurable overlay options. In an aircraft application the plurality of fixed modes are selected from the group of flight modes consisting of navigation, air-to-air (A-A), emergency, air-to-ground (A-G), preflight checklist and system status. In a preferred embodiment the emergency mode includes functionality to conserve power.
