Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to augmented reality devices for generating a composite scene including a real-world test environment and an augmented reality overlay visually representing a test area of the environment. Some devices can include wearable displays for displaying an overlay to a user, and other devices can include projectors for illuminating the test environment with the overlay.
Claims20
An augmented reality system for guiding collection of hazardous contaminant samples, comprising:
- an image capture device configured for capturing images of a sampling environment including a test surface;
- a display configured to display an augmented reality overlay over a view of the sampling environment, the augmented reality overlay including a visual representation of a boundary of a test area;
- at least one computer-readable memory having stored thereon executable instructions;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the at least one computer-readable memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to:
- cause output via the display of the visual representation of the boundary of the test area,
- track movement of the swab as a user swabs at least a portion of the test area to collect the sample,
- determine a size of an actual area swabbed by the user based at least in part on the tracked movement, and
- transmit an indication of the size of the actual area swabbed.

- and
- one or more processors in communication with the at least one computer-readable memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to:
- cause output via the display of the visual representation of the boundary of the test area,
- capture, using the image capture device, one or more images of the sampling environment;
- track movement of the swab as the user swabs at least a portion of the test area to collect the sample,
- identify, based on the tracked movement of the swab, swabbed pixels of the one or more images corresponding to portions of the test area actually swabbed by the user, and
- transmit a notification based at least in part on the swabbed pixels.
