Augmented reality assistant

A non-transitory, tangible, and computer-readable medium comprising instructions configured to cause one or more hardware processors to perform operations including:

• capturing an image of a real object in a field of view (FOV) of an imaging component of an augmented reality (AR) device;
• in real time with capturing the image, recognizing the real object in the captured image as a known managed object of a managed network;
• in real time with capturing the image, determining context information indicative of at least one of a location of the AR device, or a physical environment of the AR device;
• in real time with capturing the image, transmitting a message to a remote network management platform configured to support the manage network, the message including both an identifier of the known managed object and the context information;
• in response to the transmitted message, receiving, from the remote network management platform, management data associated with the known managed object;
• and
• in real time with capturing the image, displaying in a display component of the AR device a virtual object in a virtual space superimposed on the captured image of the real object, the virtual object and the virtual space being based on the received management data.

A computing system of an augmented reality (AR) device, the computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing program instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• capturing an image of a real object in a field of view (FOV) of an imaging component of an augmented reality (AR) device;
• in real time with capturing the image, recognizing the real object in the captured image as a known managed object of a managed network;
• in real time with capturing the image, determining context information indicative of at least one of a location of the AR device, or a physical environment of the AR device;
• in real time with capturing the image, transmitting a message to a remote network management platform configured to support the manage network, the message including both an identifier of the known managed object and the context information;
• in response to the transmitted message, receiving, from the remote network management platform, management data associated with the known managed object;
• and
• in real time with capturing the image, displaying in a display component of the AR device a virtual object in a virtual space superimposed on the captured image of the real object, the virtual object and the virtual space being based on the received management data.
