  • Patent number: 11200421
    Abstract: A system and method for a guided inspection of an apartment, home or other physical space is disclosed. The system and method use augmented reality to guide a user through a physical space. The system and method further use machine learning to automatically detect and classify damage to various physical structures in the physical space. In response to detected damage, the system may prompt a user to move closer to the detected damage for further inspection. The system can also detect obscured structures and prompt a user to make changes to the environment to increase the visibility of the obscured structures.

  • Patent number: 11200869
    Abstract: A method and system of providing a wearable expanded display system for portable computing devices is disclosed. The method includes connecting a head-mounted display system to the portable computing device and anchoring a virtual projection of content from the portable computing device to a screen of the portable computing device to provide the user with an augmented reality viewing experience. The virtual projection can present the content in an enlarged view with richer content options than the smaller screen of the portable computing device. The position of the virtual projection will adapt to changes in pose of the screen to maintain the anchored relationship.

  • Patent number: 11180159
    Abstract: A method and system of intelligently alerting and/or routing vehicles to improve driving safety is disclosed. The method includes sharing data collected by vehicles in different locations to determine whether the presence of dynamically moving objects such as animals and pedestrians will affect traffic conditions for other vehicles on the nearby roadways. If the system determines there is a likelihood of such objects being obstacles to other vehicles, an alert can be automatically presented to the drivers of the impacted vehicles. The method further includes generating routes for the driver that avoid, or limit, the driver's exposure to the obstacle.

  • Patent number: 10943406
    Abstract: An augmented reality structural assessment system may include a display device, at least one sensor configured to generate image data from a structure, and a processor. The processor may receive the image data that represents one or more portions of the structure and generate a visualization of a scenario related to structural damage to the one or more portions of the structure. The visualization may be presented via the display device, such that the visualization augments a view of the structure via the display device. The processor may then receive input data regarding one or more assessments of damage to the structure corresponding to the scenario and the image data and store the data regarding one or more assessments of damage in a storage component.

  • Patent number: 10810429
    Abstract: A system may include an image database having a number of images, such that each of the images is linked to a respective organization of a number of organizations. The system may also include a financial database having financial information associated with the number of organizations. The system may also include a processor that receives image data representative of an object, determine an organization associated with the object based on a comparison of the image data with at least one image of the number of images in the image database and a correlation between the at least one image with the organization, and retrieve financial data regarding the organization from the financial database. The processor may then generate visualizations regarding the financial data and overlay the visualizations on the image data.

  • Patent number: 10657596
    Abstract: A method may include receiving image data representative of cash acquired via one or more image sensors, identifying a first currency depicted in the cash based on a plurality of images associated with a plurality of currencies, and determining a currency conversion rate between the first currency and a second currency. The method may also include generating a visualization representative of a currency value of the cash in the second currency based on the currency conversion rate and overlaying the visualization on the image data.
