Augmented Reality Space Assessment with Environmental Data Overlay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current augmented reality technologies lack the ability to effectively present environmental data and recommendations for space assessments, such as real estate properties, in a user-friendly and immersive manner, failing to provide comprehensive insights into current and future conditions.
Innovation Solution
An augmented reality system that collects data from sensors and environmental servers, using AR viewers like glasses with speech recognition, to display visual representations of environmental conditions, trends, and recommendations, allowing users to interact with the space through commands and forecasts future changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If traditional data presentation methods are used for space assessment, then the system is simple to operate, but the user cannot gain immersive and comprehensive insights into environmental conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional 2D data displays to immersive 3D augmented reality visualizations. Environmental data, trends, and recommendations are rendered as spatial overlays within the target space, allowing users to perceive information in the same dimension as the physical environment being assessed. This dimensional transformation enables comprehensive insights while maintaining intuitive interaction through natural gestures and speech commands.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an augmented reality interface as an intermediary between the user and environmental data. This mediator layer overlays digital information (temperature, humidity, air quality, predictions) directly onto the physical space, creating a seamless integration that enhances information delivery without requiring users to switch between physical inspection and digital dashboards.
2Loss of information
If detailed environmental data and future predictions are displayed, then the information completeness is improved, but the complexity of the AR system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments environmental information into distinct categorical layers (current conditions, historical trends, future predictions, recommendations). Each category can be independently activated or deactivated through user commands, allowing the system to manage complexity by presenting only relevant data subsets at any given time while maintaining access to the complete information set.
Solution Approach 2:
The AR display dynamically adapts its complexity based on user interaction. The system responds to speech commands and gestures to adjust the level of detail displayed, transitioning between simplified overviews and comprehensive data sets. This dynamic control allows the interface to scale complexity according to user needs rather than presenting all possible information simultaneously.
3Ease of operation
If AR glasses with speech recognition are used, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple functions into the AR viewing device, combining augmented reality display, speech recognition, gesture detection, and environmental data processing in a single platform. This multi-functional integration allows the device to handle diverse interaction modes (voice commands, hand gestures, visual exploration) without requiring separate systems, thereby improving ease of operation while managing complexity through consolidation.

AI summary
A view can be presented with an augmented reality (AR) view of the space. The AR view can be augmented with imagery to indicate to the viewer environmental conditions that may not otherwise be known to the viewer. The viewer can also initiate alterations to the environment based on the information and recommendations presented in the AR view. Current conditions, past trends, and forecasted future trends can be included in the creation of the AR displays.
