Abstract
Systems and methods for presenting vehicle status information using a virtual vehicle in a virtual environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of a method for presenting vehicle status information includes receiving vehicle data of a physical vehicle from one or more sources, wherein the vehicle data corresponds with one or more components of the physical vehicle, and causing for display a virtual vehicle within a virtual environment, wherein the virtual vehicle corresponds to the physical vehicle and an appearance of the virtual vehicle corresponds with the vehicle data of the one or more components of the physical vehicle.
Claims20
A method for presenting vehicle status information, the method comprising:
- receiving vehicle data of a physical vehicle from one or more sources, wherein the vehicle data corresponds with one or more components of the physical vehicle, and the one or more sources comprise vehicle sensors installed on the one or more components;
- rendering, using a virtual reality headset, a virtual vehicle comprising one or more virtual components within a virtual environment, wherein the virtual vehicle corresponds to the physical vehicle and an appearance of the virtual vehicle corresponds with the vehicle data of the one or more components of the physical vehicle, and the one or more virtual components represents the one or more components of the physical vehicle;
- determining, based on the vehicle data, whether an individual component of the one or more components is removed from the physical vehicle or installed on the physical vehicle;
- in determining that the individual component is removed from the physical vehicle, rendering, using the virtual reality headset, an exposed component that is blocked by the individual component, wherein the exposed component is one or more virtual components;
- and
- causing for display a vehicle status information of at least one virtual component inspected by a user from a vantage point in the virtual environment, wherein the vehicle status information is determined based on the individual component removed from the physical vehicle or installed on the physical vehicle.
A system for presenting vehicle status information, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive vehicle data of a physical vehicle from one or more sources, wherein the vehicle data corresponds with one or more components of the physical vehicle, and the one or more sources comprise vehicle sensors installed on the one or more components;
- render, using a virtual reality headset, a virtual vehicle comprising one or more virtual components within a virtual environment, wherein the virtual vehicle corresponds to the physical vehicle and an appearance of the virtual vehicle corresponds with the vehicle data of the one or more components of the physical vehicle, and the one or more virtual components represents the one or more components of the physical vehicle;
- determine, based on the vehicle data, whether an individual component of the one or more components is removed from the physical vehicle or installed on the physical vehicle;
- in determining that the individual component is removed from the physical vehicle, render, using the virtual reality headset, an exposed component that is blocked by the individual component, wherein the exposed component is one or more virtual components;
- and
- cause for display a vehicle status information of at least one virtual component inspected by a user from a vantage point in the virtual environment, wherein the vehicle status information is determined based on the individual component removed from the physical vehicle or installed on the physical vehicle.
