Abstract
A method for performing an augmented reality location operation. The augmented reality location operation includes: configuring an augmented reality device to perform a plurality of augmented reality tracking methods; identifying a unique augmented reality target via at least one of the plurality of augmented reality tracking methods; associating a position with the unique augmented reality target; and, determining a relative position of another augmented reality target from the unique augmented reality target.
Claims20
A method for performing an augmented reality location operation comprising:
- configuring an augmented reality device to perform a plurality of augmented reality tracking methods;
- identifying a unique augmented reality target via at least one of the plurality of augmented reality tracking methods, the unique augmented reality target comprising an augmented reality target dongle, the augmented reality target dongle comprising a visual indicia designed to be accessed and interpreted by the augmented reality device, the augmented reality target dongle comprising a physical characteristic for physically coupling the augmented reality target dongle with a particular location, the particular location comprises a rail on a server rack and the physical characteristic physically couples the augmented reality target dongle to the rail on the server rack;
- associating a position with the unique augmented reality target;
- and,
- determining a relative position of another augmented reality target from the unique augmented reality target.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a data bus coupled to the processor;
- and
- a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
- configuring an augmented reality device to perform a plurality of augmented reality tracking methods;
- identifying a unique augmented reality target via at least one of the plurality of augmented reality tracking methods, the unique augmented reality target comprising an augmented reality target dongle, the augmented reality target dongle comprising a visual indicia designed to be accessed and interpreted by the augmented reality device, the augmented reality target dongle comprising a physical characteristic for physically coupling the augmented reality target dongle with a particular location, the particular location comprises a rail on a server rack and the physical characteristic physically couples the augmented reality target dongle to the rail on the server rack;
- associating a position with the unique augmented reality target;
- and,
- determining a relative position of another augmented reality target from the unique augmented reality target.
A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:
- configuring an augmented reality device to perform a plurality of augmented reality tracking methods;
- identifying a unique augmented reality target via at least one of the plurality of augmented reality tracking methods, the unique augmented reality target comprising an augmented reality target dongle, the augmented reality target dongle comprising a visual indicia designed to be accessed and interpreted by the augmented reality device, the augmented reality target dongle comprising a physical characteristic for physically coupling the augmented reality target dongle with a particular location, the particular location comprises a rail on a server rack and the physical characteristic physically couples the augmented reality target dongle to the rail on the server rack;
- associating a position with the unique augmented reality target;
- and,
- determining a relative position of another augmented reality target from the unique augmented reality target.
