US 2025/0334686 A1 · AUGMENTED REALITY LIVE SONAR

Abstract

An augmented reality system is provided including an augmented reality device comprising a display configured to allow a user to view a portion of a surrounding environment through the display. The portion of the surrounding environment corresponds to a current viewpoint of the user such that the user would otherwise see the portion if the device was not present. The system includes processor(s) and memory device(s) comprising computer program code configured, when executed by the processor(s), to cause the processor(s) to determine a position and line of sight of the device, receive a live sonar image, correlate the position and line of sight to a corresponding portion of the image, and cause presentation of the image on portion(s) of the display so that the portion of the surrounding environment and the corresponding portion of the image are both visible in the display from a user's perspective.
