Abstract
A test and measurement system can include a data store configured to store augmentation settings for dynamically augmenting a physical testing environment and a computing device coupled to the data store. The computing device can be configured to receive an input feed from the physical testing environment, create an augmentation image based on the augmentation settings and the input feed, and output the augmented image to be overlaid on the physical testing environment to augment a user's view of the physical testing environment.
Claims21
A test and measurement system, comprising:
- a data store configured to store augmentation settings for dynamically augmenting a physical testing environment;
- and
- a computing device coupled to the data store, the computing device configured to:
- receive an input feed from the physical testing environment;
- create an augmentation image based on the augmentation settings and the input feed;
- and
- output the augmentation image to be overlaid on the physical testing environment to augment a user's view of the physical testing environment.
A machine-controlled method, comprising:
- using a data store, storing augmentation settings for dynamically augmenting a physical testing environment;
- receiving an input feed from the physical testing environment;
- using a computing device, creating an augmentation image based on the augmentation settings and the input feed;
- and
- outputting the augmented image to be overlaid on the physical testing environment to augment a user's view of the physical testing environment.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- receive, from a data store, augmentation settings for dynamically augmenting a physical testing environment;
- receive an input feed from the physical testing environment;
- generate an augmentation image based on the augmentation settings and the input feed;
- and
- output the augmentation image to be overlaid on the physical testing environment to augment a user's view of the physical testing environment.
A test and measurement system, comprising:
- a device under test (DUT);
- a data store configured to store augmentation settings for dynamically augmenting a physical testing environment;
- a head-mounted display device configured to be worn by a user;
- a measurement probe configured to interact with the DUT;
- a probe camera coupled to the measurement probe;
- and
- a computing device coupled to the data store, the computing device configured to:
- receive an input feed from the physical testing environment;
- receive an image captured by the camera coupled with the measurement probe;
- create an augmentation image based on the augmentation settings, the input feed, and the image captured by the probe camera;
- and
- cause the head-mounted display device to visually present the augmented image overlaid on the physical testing environment to a user.
