US 2022/0188545 A1 · AUGMENTED REALITY ENHANCED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

Abstract

A method for enhancing the situational awareness of a user to a problem within an area. The method includes one or more computer receiving visual information corresponding to an area from a device associated with a user. The method further includes receiving data from a group of one or more sensors within the area, where the area includes a plurality of physical elements. The method further includes determining that a first problem is present within the area and a first physical element in the area that corresponds to the first problem, based on analyzing the data received from the group of sensors. The method further includes generating augmented reality (AR) content related to the first problem present within the area. The method further includes displaying, via the device associated with the user, the generated AR content related to the problem within the visual information corresponding to the area.
