Method to map dynamically drawn augmented reality (AR) scribbles using recognition of discrete spatial anchor(s)

Abstract:

Systems and methods for producing remote assistance via augmented reality (AR) by utilizing a field service device and a remote expert device are disclosed herein. An example method includes a field service device generating a non-AR video feed, and sending the non-AR video feed to a remote expert device. A user of the remote expert device then annotates the non-AR video feed by drawing a scribble pattern onto the non-AR video feed. The remote expert device then sends the scribble pattern to the field service device as an array of coordinates. The field service device then maps the received scribble pattern to a plane to create an AR scribble pattern. The field service device then creates an AR video feed based on the AR scribble pattern.
