Wearable device and method for providing augmented reality information

A wearable electronic device comprising:

• a camera module;
• a display module;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• generate augmented reality using an image captured through the camera module;
• display the augmented reality on the display module, the augmented reality including a plurality of virtual objects, wherein each virtual object corresponds to one of a plurality of real objects that are points of interest;
• detect at least one finger of a user detected within the augmented reality by the camera module;
• display a first window selecting a virtual object corresponding to the real object that is a point of interest, wherein the at least one finger is associated with the first window;
• detect that a finger, of the at least one detected finger, of the user is bent to at least a predetermined angle;
• and
• in response to detecting that the finger is bent to at least the predetermined angle, transitioning the first window into a second window different from the first window, displayed on the display, that provides detailed information regarding the real object corresponding to the virtual object.

A method for providing augmented reality information, the method comprising:

• establishing a communication channel between an electronic device and a wearable device;
• capturing, by the wearable device, an image comprising a plurality of real objects through a camera module of a wearable device;
• transmitting, by the wearable device, the image to the electronic device to generate augmented reality using the captured image, the augmented reality including a plurality of virtual objects, wherein each virtual object corresponds to one of a plurality of real objects that are points of interest;
• in response to detecting, by the wearable device, at least one finger of a user, transmitting, by the wearable device a location of each of the at least one finger to the electronic device to display a first window selecting a virtual object corresponding to the real object that is a point of interest, wherein the finger is associated with the first window;
• receiving and displaying, by the wearable device, the augmented reality on a display module of the wearable device;
• and
• in response to detecting that a finger, of the at least one finger, is being bent to at least a predetermined angle, transitioning the first window into a second window different from the first window, displayed on the display module, that provides detailed information regarding the real object corresponding to the virtual object,
• wherein a hand gesture of the user comprises at least one of bending the finger or moving the finger.

A wearable device comprising:

• a camera module configured to capturing an image through a camera module of the wearable device;
• a transceiver configured to establish a communication channel between an electronic device and the wearable device;
• a display module;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• transmit the image to the electronic device to generate augmented reality using the captured image through the transceiver, the augmented reality including a plurality of virtual objects, wherein each virtual object corresponds to one of a plurality of real objects that are points of interest;
• in response to detecting at least one finger of a user, transmit, through the transceiver, a location of each of the at least one finger to the electronic device to display a first window selecting a virtual object corresponding to the real object that is a point of interest, wherein the finger is associated with the first window;
• receive the augmented reality on a display module of the wearable device through the transceiver;
• and
• in response to detecting that a finger, of the at least one finger, is being bent to at least a predetermined angle, control the display module to transition the first window into a second window, different from the first window and displayed on the display module, that provides detailed information regarding the real object corresponding to the virtual object,
• wherein a hand gesture of the user comprises at least one of bending the finger or moving the finger.
