Abstract
Systems and methods for creating an instance of a 3D model of an IT component within an AR world coordinate space are provided. According to one embodiment, a layout of a system of IT components may be specified in terms of respective rack unit locations within a rack. Based on a relative position with respect to an anchor component and the location of the anchor component within the coordinate space, a high-accuracy calibrated model of an IT component with reference to which AR entities have been defined for various back panel elements may be used to create an instance of a 3D model of the IT component within the coordinate space. The instantiated 3D model may then be used to precisely overlay the AR entities on corresponding back panel elements within a through-the-lens view of the IT component, for example, to facilitate a guided wire-up of the system.
