Abstract
A system may include a processing resource, and a computing device comprising instructions executable to: extract data from objects in a digital image of a physical environment; utilize the extracted data to identify information about a task to be performed by an operator at the physical environment; and select, based on a characteristic of the operator, a portion of the identified information about the task to include in a visual overlay to be displayed to the operator at the physical environment.
Claims15
A system comprising:
- a processing resource;
- and
- a computing device comprising instructions executable by the processing resource to:
- extract data from objects in a digital image of a physical environment;
- utilize the extracted data to identify information about a task to be performed by an operator at the physical environment;
- extract, from a digital image of a performance of the task by the operator, a characteristic of the operator indicative of an experience level of the operator;
- and
- select, based on the extracted characteristic of the operator, a portion of the identified information about the task to include in a visual overlay to be displayed to the operator at the physical environment.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium containing instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- identify markings on a physical object appearing in a digital image of a physical environment where an operator is to perform a task;
- utilize the identified markings to identify information about the physical object;
- reference a profile of characteristics of the operator, wherein the characteristics are indications of a task experience level of the operator determined from digital images of previous performances of the task by the operator;
- and
- select, based on the experience level of the operator to perform the task as determined from the profile, a portion of the information about the physical object to be included in a visual overlay to be displayed to the operator at the physical environment.
A method, comprising:
- capturing a digital image of a physical environment where an operator is to perform a task;
- identifying instructions related to performing the task based on markings recognized in the digital image;
- determining, based on a digital image of a prior performance of the task by the operator, a characteristic of the operator associated with a task experience level of the operator;
- selecting, based on the determined characteristic of the operator, a first portion of the instructions to be included in a first visual overlay to be displayed to the operator at the physical environment;
- and
- tracking a performance of the task by the operator at the physical environment.
