  • Systems and methods for installing an item using augmented reality
    Patent number: 11475645
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may determine dimensions of an installation area in a real-world environment and may obtain information identifying dimensions of an installation template associated with installing an equipment in the real-world environment. The device may determine a scale for displaying augmented reality representations associated with installing the equipment, based on the dimensions of the installation area and the dimensions of the installation template. The device may identify, based on information identifying an installation point of the installation template, a virtual installation point associated with installing the equipment in the installation area. The user device may display an augmented reality representation of the virtual installation point to enable a depiction of a corresponding real installation point in the installation area. The augmented reality representation may be displayed based on the scale and a distance from the user device to the installation area.
