Publication number: 20210389758Abstract: System and methods for monitoring and control infrastructure equipment uses extended reality playback to monitor such infrastructure equipment. The system and method advantageously blends videos and images of physical equipment with computer-generated representations of events to enable playback of the events, including any user interactions with the equipment. The extended reality playback presents events captured by real-time event logs for the infrastructure equipment using extended reality media content. The playback is composed of a real-time sequence of media content depicting one or more equipment operations corresponding to the events as a continuous presentation. The real-time sequence can then be displayed in real time and stored for subsequent playback at any time by a user. The real-time sequence can also be compared to a verified “golden” sequence to detect errors in the infrastructure equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2021Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: Mario IBRAHIM, Tewfik MEFTAH, Olivier BOUFFET
