AR Security Event Visualization for Precise 3D Alert Location
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional security systems fail to effectively convey relevant security information, often overwhelming users with text-based alerts and failing to provide precise location details of security events, leading to missed incidents.
Innovation Solution
Utilizing augmented reality (AR) effects to generate customizable, three-dimensional visual cues at the precise locations of security events, such as fires or missing objects, through an immersive user interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If text-based alerts are provided automatically to convey security information, then the system can provide alerts without manual intervention, but the alerts become too numerous and overwhelming for the security officer
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments security information by type (intrusion, fire, water, etc.) and presents each type through dedicated AR effects. This segmentation allows the officer to focus on one type of event at a time rather than being overwhelmed by a mixed stream of text alerts, while maintaining automated monitoring of all event types.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from two-dimensional text-based alerts to three-dimensional AR visualizations that overlay security information on the physical environment. This dimensional change provides spatial context and prioritizes critical events visually, making it easier for officers to process information without being overwhelmed by quantity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple views of monitored environment are presented to security officer, then comprehensive monitoring is achieved, but individual issues in each view may go unnoticed
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by providing detailed AR visualizations at the specific location where security events occur. Instead of presenting multiple generic views, the system focuses the officer's attention on the precise location and nature of each event through localized AR effects, making individual issues stand out against the background environment.
Solution Approach 2:
AR effects serve as an intermediary layer between the raw security data and the officer's perception. The AR visualizations translate complex security information into intuitive visual cues that highlight individual issues within the broader monitored environment, bridging the gap between comprehensive monitoring and detailed detection.
3Loss of information
If text alerts are provided to convey security information, then information can be transmitted, but relevant information such as location and size is not provided
Solution Approach 1:
The system adds spatial dimensionality by rendering AR objects at their actual three-dimensional location in the environment. This allows the officer to see both the location and scale of events directly in the physical space, providing precise measurement information that text alerts cannot convey. The AR visualization maintains information transmission while adding spatial context and precision.

AI summary
Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for providing security system information using an augmented reality (AR) effect, comprising receiving security system information from at least one security device in an environment, wherein the security system information is of a first type of security event. The implementations further include selecting, from a plurality of AR effects, a first AR effect that is configured to output information of the first type. Additionally, the implementations further include determining a three-dimensional location in the environment that is associated with the security system information. Additionally, the implementations further include generating, for display on a user interface, an AR object of the first AR effect at the three-dimensional location.
