Abstract
The present application discloses methods to reliably verify pick locations in a warehouse, with minimal or no interaction by the user. Once verified, the user can proceed to pick-up a product or deliver a product to the pick location. In one embodiment, the user may wear binocular augmented reality headset. The headset renders a hologram that is viewed by the user. Aided by the hologram and depth sensing capabilities of the headset that confirms a pick location without any user interaction, the user may be able to reliably verify pick locations and select the correct product. In another embodiment, the user may wear haptic feedback gloves. The gloves comprise force sensors, actuators and a wireless interface. The forces sensors may determine whether the user is holding the product and a location system may determine whether the user is in proximity to the correct pick location.
