Abstract
Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are provided for an augmented reality display using an actual image of the item. Additionally, the present disclosure provides for a proportionally dimensioned representation of the item in the augmented reality display. In some aspects, a beacon/tag/sensor-based approach may be used. In some aspects, a marker-based approach may be used.
Claims20
A method for providing an image of an item, the method comprising:
- receiving a signal from a tag;
- generating a request for the image of the item based at least in part on the signal;
- receiving the image of the item, the image of the item being previously captured at a point associated with transportation of the item;
- and
- proportionally sizing the image of the item over a real world background based on a size and a location of the tag at the point associated with transportation of the item.
An apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including program code, wherein the at least one memory is configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- receive at least one signal from a tag;
- receive an image of an item associated with a powered asset, the image of the item being previously captured at a point associated with transportation of the item via the powered asset;
- generating an augmented reality display layer for display via the display over a real world environment, wherein the generating comprises orienting the image of the item within the augmented reality display layer based on a size of the item and a location of the item at the point associated with transportation of the item, the size and the location determined from the at least one signal.
One or more computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for providing an image of an item on a display, the method comprising:
- identifying, via a computing entity, a tag associated with the item;
- receiving, via the computing entity, the image of the item while the item is located on a powered asset for transportation of the item;
- receiving, via the computing entity, location information of the item from the tag;
- based on the location information, determining, via the computing entity, a location of the item while the item is located on the powered asset;
- and
- orienting, via the computing entity, the image of the item on an augmented reality environment layer for display over a real world environment, the orienting based on the location of the item determined.
