Augmented reality patient interface device fitting apparatus
First Claim
1. An augmented reality apparatus for facilitating a patient interface device fitting process, comprising:
- means for providing a real-time image of the patient; and
a processor apparatus storing a plurality of augmented reality component data files, the plurality of augmented reality component data files including, for each of a plurality of patient interface devices comprising a plurality of different sizes of a particular patient interface device type, contact region image data representing an image of a contact region showing only where the patient interface device would actually contact a wearer'"'"'s face and not representing an image of the patient interface device itself, the processor apparatus being configured to cause an augmented real-time image to be created and transmitted by the augmented reality apparatus by augmenting the real-time image using the contact region image data of at least one of the augmented reality component data files, wherein the augmented real-time image comprises one or more of the contact regions rendered on the real-time image, and wherein the processor apparatus is configured to cause the augmented real-time image to be created and transmitted by the augmented reality apparatus by augmenting the real-time image using the contact region image data of each of the plurality of different sizes of the particular patient interface device type simultaneously.
