Abstract

Performing design optimization using an augmented reality system. Baseline data comprising baseline sensor data and baseline user input data is received by a computer system. An interactive baseline design optimization problem based on the baseline data is generated by the computer system. The baseline interactive optimization problem is transmitted by the computer system to the augmented reality system. Refined data comprising refined sensor data and refined user input data is received by the computer system. An interactive refined optimization problem based on the refined data and the baseline data is generated by the computer system. The interactive refined optimization problem is transmitted by the computer system to the augmented reality system.
