Abstract
Disclosed are various systems and features for use with a machine, such as a sewing machine, to facilitate augmented-reality features such as projecting assistive visual elements or virtual UI elements into an operational area. Such systems and features may be useful in the context of performing an action along a self-guided path on a substrate.
Claims20
A guiding apparatus comprising:
- an operational area;
- and
- an augmented reality system comprising:
- a vision system, and
- an illumination system,
- wherein the augmented reality system is configured to:
- project augmented reality features onto one or more operational objects, and
- identify the one or more operational objects for a subsequent stitching operation of the guiding apparatus along a predetermined path.
5 more elements
A method for calibrating an augmented reality system coupled with a guiding apparatus, the method comprising:
- identifying a calibration target in an operational area of the guiding apparatus;
- projecting fiducials onto the calibration target;
- determining image information and spatial characteristics associated with the calibration target;
- performing a first calibration process based on at least one of the image information and the spatial characteristics;
- projecting a calibration grid pattern onto the operational area;
- sewing a stitch pattern matching the calibration grid pattern;
- and
- performing a second calibration process based at least on the stitch pattern.
5 more elements
A method for operating an augmented reality system coupled with a guiding apparatus, the method comprising:
- identifying a substrate in an operational area of the guiding apparatus based at least on a first set of projected augmented reality features;
- identifying one or more patches at a position on the substrate based at least on a second set of projected augmented reality features;
- sewing the one or more patches using a stitch pattern;
- and
- determining the stitch pattern of the one or more patches matches the second set of projected augmented reality features.
