SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRESENTING AN AUGMENTED REALITY
First Claim
1. A first computing device in an industrial automation system comprising:
- an image sensor configured to capture a visual representation of a portion of a facility comprising a first industrial automation equipment as image data;
a communication component configured to communicatively couple the first computing device to a second computing device via a communication network, wherein the first computing device is configured to receive relevant information related to the first industrial automation equipment from the second computing device; and
a display component configured to;
display a plurality of real objects configured to visually represent physical features in the portion of the facility based at least in part on the image data, wherein the plurality of real objects comprises a first real object configured to visual represent physical features of the first industrial automation equipment; and
display a first virtual object superimposed on at least a portion of the plurality of real objects based at least in part on the relevant information.

Abstract
A first computing device in an industrial automation system may include an image sensor that captures a visual representation of a portion of a facility including a first industrial automation equipment as image data and a communication component that communicatively couples the first computing device to a second computing device via a communication network, in which the first computing device receives relevant information related to the first industrial automation equipment from the second computing device. The first computing may include a display component that displays a plurality of real objects that visually represent physical features in the portion of the facility based at least in part on the image data, in which the plurality of real objects include a first real object that visual represents physical features of the first industrial automation equipment; and that displays a first virtual object superimposed on at least a portion of the plurality of real objects based at least in part on the relevant information.

10. A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium configured to store instructions executable by a processor in a computing device, wherein the instructions comprise instructions to:
-
determine, using the processor, a location and an orientation of the computing device with respect to physical features in a facility, wherein the physical features comprise a first industrial automation equipment; instruct, using the processor, the computing device to display a plurality of real objects configured to visually represent one or more of the physical features, wherein the plurality of real objects comprises a first real object when the computing device is orientated toward and located proximate to the first industrial automation equipment, wherein the first real object is configured to visually represent the first industrial automation equipment; instruct, using the processor, the computing device to display a first virtual object such that the first virtual object is superimposed on at least a portion of the plurality of real objects, wherein the first virtual object is configured to visually indicate relevant information associated with the first industrial automation equipment and is displayed adjacent to the first real object. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
