A method for providing virtual aid templates includes capturing images of a physical environment including a physical object at a first location, rendering a 3-D virtual environment including a representation of the physical object, capturing a first hand gesture in the physical environment, translating the first hand gesture into a first operation of displaying a virtual aid template associated with the physical object, rendering the virtual aid template associated with the physical object adjacent to the location of the representation of the physical object, capturing a second hand gesture in the physical environment, translating the second hand gesture into a first interaction with the representation of the physical object, determining a second operation on the virtual aid template associated with the physical object in accordance with the first interaction, and rendering the second operation on the virtual aid template associated with the physical object.

System and method for providing real-time product interaction assistance

A method includes: deploying a frontend system (FIES); activating input streams from on-site cameras located at a current deployment location of the FIES; in accordance with the respective input stream of a first camera, registering an inspection event of a user in association with a first sample product on display; detecting a close-proximity interaction between the user and the FIES; automatically generating a first product recommendation, including: if the inspection event meets enhanced inspection criteria, which are met when a second inspection event of the first user exists in previously stored inspection events associated with the respective first sample product, automatically adding a product-specific description of the first sample product in the first product recommendation; and otherwise, forgoing including the product-specific description of the first sample product in the first product recommendation; and providing, through the frontend information exchange system, the first product recommendation to the first user.
