  • Patent number: 12656142
    Abstract: A display control method includes matching three-dimensional map data that includes reference visual feature points located around a movement route for an unmanned vehicle with visual feature points included in a terminal image that includes an unmanned vehicle object indicating the unmanned vehicle, thereby identifying the unmanned vehicle indicated by the unmanned vehicle object that is included in the terminal image. The terminal image is provided from a terminal device that includes a display. Further, the method includes superimposing and displaying one or more AR-related objects on the terminal image displayed on the display. The AR-related objects indicate related information related to movement of the identified unmanned vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20250329245
    Abstract: An interference controller apparatus performs a process for acquiring a first position at which an unmanned ground vehicle is positioned and a second position at which a wearable device worn by a user is positioned, respectively; a process for acquiring route information indicating a route on which the unmanned ground vehicle is to travel; a process for generating a first signal for displaying a first image indicating a direction and a path that the unmanned ground vehicle is to travel based on the first position and the route information; a process for generating a second signal for displaying a second image indicating a zone where an entry of a user wearing the wearable device is to be restricted, based on the first position, the second position, and the route information; and a process for transmitting the first signal and the second signal to the wearable device.

  • Patent number: 11938402
    Abstract: A method includes receiving information related to a first user. The method further includes instructing a first display to display an image related to the first user to a second user based on the received information. The method further includes generating an image of a virtual object. The method further includes instructing a second display to display an image of the virtual object. The method further includes detecting movement of the second user. The method further includes determining a velocity of the virtual object in response to a determination that the second user contacts the virtual object based on the detected movement of the second user. The method further includes generating a moving image of the virtual object based on the determined velocity of the virtual object. The method further includes instructing the second display to display the moving image of the virtual object.
