There are disclosed systems and methods for managing object configurations within a structure. For one embodiment, a fixed object profile including dimensions and locations of ventilation of a building space and a non-fixed object profile including dimensions and a location of a non-fixed object are identified. One or more contaminant risk locations of the building space are determined in response to determining the air flow within the building space associated with an HVAC unit. The air flow is determined based on incoming air flow streams to the building space and outgoing air flow streams away from the building space. One or more object positions are provided at an output device based on the contaminant risk location(s). For another embodiment, the contaminant risk location(s) are selected from possible people locations. A person position is displayed at an output device, in proximity to the building space, based on the contaminant risk location(s).

Systems and methods for managing object configurations within a structure

A method of using a head-mounted display to enable the display of confidential data includes authenticating a user by placing the HMD on the user's head, moving the HMD by moving the user's head to facilitate the user looking at a series of N objects in a predefined order, and providing access to the confidential data in response to the user looking at the predefined series of N objects in the predefined order and within a predefined time frame.

Unlocking passwords in augmented reality based on look

Examples of techniques for augmented reality authoring using virtual reality are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a virtual reality processing system, a depth map from an augmented reality processing system, wherein the depth map is a map of a scene. The method further includes authoring, using the virtual reality processing system, an augmented reality experience in a virtual reality environment based at least in part on the depth map. The method further includes transmitting, by the virtual reality processing system, the augmented reality experience to the augmented reality processing system.

Authoring augmented reality experiences using augmented reality and virtual reality

A system and method is disclosed for development of a control application for a controller of an automation system. The controller receives sensor signals associated with perception of a first real component during an execution of the control application program. Activity of a virtual component, including interaction with the real first component, is simulated, the virtual component being a digital twin of a second real component designed for the work environment and absent in the work environment. Virtual data is produced in response to the simulated activity of the virtual component. A control application module determines parameters for development of the control application program using the sensor signals for the first real component and the virtual data. An AR display signal for the work environment is rendered and displayed based on a digital representation of the virtual data during an execution of the control application program.

Development of control applications in augmented reality environment

A system for enabling an augmented reality application includes in a mobile device of a user, displaying a real-world object and allowing the user to interact with the real-world object by drawing a virtual outline of the object and build up the current configuration or its virtual twin. A computer processor retrieves a list of possible component objects of the real-world object. The user interacts with a visual depiction of the scene and move candidate component objects to the virtual outline of the real-world object. The configuration of the real-world object is saved allowing the AR application to retrieve the verified configuration and produce augmented overlays overtop the visual depiction of the real-world object. The configuration is verified by the user using spatial relationships of the component objects associated with the real-world object. The verified object configuration may be tracked in the AR application without needing a recognition procedure.

Method and apparatus for changeable configuration of objects using a mixed reality approach with augmented reality

For display of a 3D model () in virtual reality (VR), merely converting the CAD display from the 2D screen to a 3D image may not sufficiently reduce the information clutter. To provide metadata for the 3D CAD model () with less occlusion or clutter, a separate space () is generated in the virtual reality environment. Metadata and information about the 3D CAD model () and/or selected part () of the 3D CAD model () is displayed () in the separate space (). The user may view the 3D CAD model () in one space (), the metadata with or without a representation of a part in another space (), or combinations thereof.

Display of three-dimensional model information in virtual reality

A personal protective equipment (PPE) monitoring system is disclosed that includes a set of wireless transmitting devices and a mobile application executable on a mobile device. The mobile device receives a wireless signal from a transmitting device associated with a workstation and determines the type of workstation based on an identifier included in the wireless signal. The mobile device also receives wireless signals from transmitting devices attached to PPE items located in proximity to the mobile device and determines the types of PPE items based on respective identifiers included in the wireless signals. The mobile application determines PPE items required to operate equipment at the workstation and further determines whether the set of detected PPE items includes all of the required PPE items. The mobile application generates a user interface that indicates the presence or absence of each required PPE item and displays the UI on the mobile device.
