Abstract
A system for providing an augmented reality interface comprising a head mounted display having a wireless data interface, a camera and a display, the head mounted display configured to receive user interface data and to generate a user interface using the display and to receive image data from the camera and to transmit the image data over the wireless data interface to a wireless network. A wireless device configured to generate the wireless network, to transmit the user interface data to the head mounted display, to receive the image data from the head mounted display and to generate modified user interface data as a function of the image data.
Claims28
A system for providing an augmented reality interface comprising:
- a head mounted display having a wireless data interface, a camera and a display, the head mounted display configured to receive user interface data and to generate a user interface using the display and to receive image data from the camera and to transmit the image data over the wireless data interface to a wireless network;
- and a wireless device configured to generate the wireless network, to transmit the user interface data to the head mounted display, to receive the image data from the head mounted display and to generate modified user interface data as a function of the image data;
- wherein the wireless device further comprises am augmented reality coordinate system configured to receive physical coordinate data for a location of the wireless device and to generate virtual coordinate data for placement of user interface objects at locations in a virtual field around the wireless device, the virtual coordinate data for each of the user interface objects is three dimensional virtual coordinate data relative to an origin of the three dimensional virtual coordinate data that is located at the wireless device and having a form a.b.c.d, where each of a, b, c and d are separate fields and at least three of a, b, c and d represent three dimensional coordinates associated with a center of a user interface object.
A method for providing an augmented reality interface comprising:
- wirelessly transmitting user interface data from a wireless device that is separate from a head mounted display to the head mounted display to cause the head mounted display and to generate a user interface control that is located within a view of the user as a function of a fixed location of the user interface control relative to the wireless device and that is independent of image data generated by a camera of the head mounted display;
- wirelessly receiving image data from the camera of the head mounted display at the wireless device;
- and
- processing the image data with a processor of the wireless device to extract a user selection of the user interface control;
- wherein the wireless device further comprises an augmented reality coordinate system configured to receive physical coordinate data for a location of the wireless device and to generate virtual coordinate data for placement of user interface objects at locations in a virtual field around the wireless device, the virtual coordinate data for each of the user interface objects is three dimensional virtual coordinate data relative to an origin of the three dimensional virtual coordinate data that is located at the wireless device and having a form a.b.c.d, where each of a, b, c and d are separate fields and at least three of a, b, c and d represent three dimensional coordinates associated with a center of a user interface object.
