Abstract
An augmented-reality (AR) device detects a physical device located within a first predefined distance of the augmented-reality device. The AR device detects, using an optical sensor, a physical object located within a second predefined distance of the physical device, the physical object being electronically unconnected to the physical device. The AR device determines that the physical object is associated with the physical device and identifies a command based on an identification of both the physical object and the physical device. The physical device is configured to operate the command and display, in the display, virtual content as an overlay to the physical object.
Claims20
An augmented-reality device comprising:
- a display;
- and
- one or more hardware processors configured to perform operations comprising:
- detecting that a physical device is located within a first threshold distance of the augmented-reality device;
- detecting that a physical object is located within a second threshold distance of the physical device, the physical object being electronically unconnected to the physical device;
- and
- displaying, in the display, an identification of a command to be performed by the physical device based on a presence of the physical device and the physical object, in response to detecting that the physical device is located within the first threshold distance of the augmented-reality device, and that the physical object is located within the second threshold distance of the physical device.
A method comprising:
- detecting that a physical device is located within a first threshold distance of the augmented-reality device;
- detecting that a physical object is located within a second threshold distance of the physical device, the physical object being electronically unconnected to the physical device;
- and
- displaying, in the display, an identification of a command to be performed by the physical device based on a presence of the physical device and the physical object, in response to detecting that the physical device is located within the first threshold distance of the augmented-reality device, and that the physical object is located within the second threshold distance of the physical device.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- detecting that a physical device is located within a first threshold distance of the augmented-reality device;
- detecting that a physical object is located within a second threshold distance of the physical device, the physical object being electronically unconnected to the physical device;
- and
- displaying, in the display, an identification of a command to be performed by the physical device based on a presence of the physical device and the physical object, in response to detecting that the physical device is located within the first threshold distance of the augmented-reality device, and that the physical object is located within the second threshold distance of the physical device.
