Abstract
A method of providing guidance, such as to the user of a personal mobility device, uses a head-worn device including a camera and one or more display devices. The method includes capturing images using the camera of the head-worn device and identifying an area, represented in the captured images, having a certain permission associated therewith. An augmented reality effect is overlaid on the area, and the captured images with the overlaid augmented reality effect are displayed on the head-worn device.
Claims20
A method, performed by one or more processors, of providing guidance using a head-worn device including a camera and one or more display devices, the method comprising:
- capturing images using the camera of the head-worn device;
- identifying an area, represented in the captured images, having a certain characteristic associated therewith, in real time and by performing object detection and recognition techniques on the captured images;
- overlaying an augmented reality (AR) effect on the area;
- displaying the captured images with the overlaid AR effect on the one or more displays of the head-worn device;
- detecting movement of the head-worn device into or out of the area;
- based on detecting movement of the head-worn device into or out of the area, altering functioning of an associated personal mobility system carrying a user of the head-worn device;
- and
- dynamically and in real time, altering one or more visual characteristics of the overlaid AR effect, including at least one of color, opacity, or flashing, upon detection of the head-worn device moving into or out of the area.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations for providing guidance using a head-worn device including a camera and one or more display devices, the operations comprising:
- capturing images using the camera of the head-worn device;
- identifying an area, represented in the captured images, having a certain characteristic associated therewith, in real time and by performing object detection and recognition techniques on the captured images;
- overlaying an augmented reality (AR) effect on the area;
- displaying the captured images with the overlaid AR effect on the one or more displays of the head-worn device;
- detecting movement of the head-worn device into or out of the area;
- based on detecting movement of the head-worn device into or out of the area, altering functioning of an associated personal mobility system carrying a user of the head-worn device;
- and
- dynamically and in real time, altering one or more visual characteristics of the overlaid AR effect, including at least one of color, opacity, or flashing, upon detection of the head-worn device moving into or out of the area.
A computing system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the computing system to perform operations for providing guidance using a head-worn device including a camera and one or more display devices, the operations comprising:
- capturing images using the camera of the head-worn device;
- identifying an area, represented in the captured images, having a certain characteristic associated therewith, in real time and by performing object detection and recognition techniques on the captured images;
- overlaying an augmented reality (AR) effect on the area;
- displaying the captured images with the overlaid AR effect on the one or more displays of the head-worn device;
- detecting movement of the head-worn device into or out of the area;
- based on detecting movement of the head-worn device into or out of the area, altering functioning of an associated personal mobility system carrying a user of the head-worn device;
- and
- dynamically and in real time, altering one or more visual characteristics of the overlaid AR effect, including at least one of color, opacity, or flashing, upon detection of the head-worn device moving into or out of the area.
