A method and system provide the ability to examine a three-dimensional (3D) structure. A physical 3D structure is acquired. A digital model of the 3D structure is acquired in an augmented reality (AR) system. The digital model is calibrated to match the 3D structure. The digital model is projected onto the 3D structure. A tool interacting with the 3D structure is tracked and the interaction is analyzed. A visualization of the projected digital model is updated based on the analysis.

Inspection and cleanup of physical structures using augmented reality

A method, system, and apparatus provide the ability to control a system state of/in an image viewing application using a camera/portable viewing device. A screen of the camera is used to display a virtual reality view and an opening is positioned over a lens of the camera. The screen and physical buttons of the camera are not accessible when the camera is placed into the virtual reality viewing mechanism. An image is acquired from a camera through the opening. Color is used to make choices for operations. Alternatively, based on the toggling of the system state through a light blocking operation, a motion operation is conducted. The motion operation is based on length of time light is blocked and the length controls a speed of the motion operation.

Using camera image light intensity to control system state

Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a method for suggesting products from available parts. A plurality of available parts in an inventory is identified, including identifying at least one assembly of plural individual parts or sub-assemblies. For each assembly, plural sub-assemblies or individual parts included in a respective assembly are determined. An inventory list is created that includes the plurality of available parts, the at least one assembly, and the determined sub-assemblies or individual parts of an assembly. An inventory of products is identified that constitute assemblies. Each product in the inventory of products has a respective parts list identifying parts required to build the product. The inventory list is evaluated including comparing the inventory list to the inventory of products to locate candidate products constructible using the elements included in the inventory list. Product suggestions are output.

Product inventory system

Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a method for augmenting video streams, includes processing a video stream prior to presentation to identify objects to be selectively augmented in the video stream. The method includes: receiving and storing a first user selection of a preference for one or more aesthetic attributes to be associated with the first user and to be projected to a second user; receiving, at a second different device not associated with the first user, the preference for the one or more aesthetic attributes; identifying, at the second different device, image data associated with the first user and selectively augmenting the identified image data using the one or more aesthetic attributes; and presenting, on the second different device, the identified image data that is augmented by the one or more aesthetic attributes.
