Vessel loading with guidance using an augmented reality headset

A computer program product comprising one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions executable to:

• identify a heterogeneous plurality of packages and a vessel into which the heterogeneous plurality of packages is to be loaded;
• based on identifying the heterogeneous plurality of packages and the vessel, identify an arrangement of the heterogeneous plurality of packages within an interior of the vessel;
• and
• for each package in the heterogeneous plurality of packages:
• perform object recognition on the package, using an augmented reality (AR) headset;
• and
• based on identifying the arrangement of the heterogeneous plurality of packages and further based on performing object recognition on the package, provide, using the AR headset, a visual annotation corresponding to the package, the visual annotation indicating a position for the package within the interior of the vessel.

A system comprising:

• a processor, a computer-readable memory, one or more computer-readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions executable to:
• identify a heterogeneous plurality of packages and a vessel into which the heterogeneous plurality of packages is to be loaded;
• based on identifying the heterogeneous plurality of packages and the vessel, identify an arrangement of the heterogeneous plurality of packages within an interior of the vessel;
• and
• for each package in the heterogeneous plurality of packages:
• perform object recognition on the package, using an augmented reality (AR) headset;
