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.

Claims

1. A method for performing design optimization in real time, the method comprising:

receiving, by a computer system, baseline data comprising baseline sensor data and baseline user input data, wherein the baseline sensor data is received from one or more sensors positioned in an environment of an augmented reality system with respect to corresponding environmental conditions in the environment;

generating, by the computer system, an interactive baseline design optimization problem (IBDOP) based on the baseline data, wherein the IBDOP is generated in accordance with the baseline user input data by classification of the baseline sensor data in terms of an objective function and associated variables and constraints with respect to corresponding design parameters and conditions of a design problem in the environment, and wherein the IBDOP comprises a trade space for user interaction therewith by way of the augmented reality system with respect to the IBDOP, wherein the trade space comprises an interactive visualization of interdependencies between the design parameters and conditions of the design problem with respect to the variables and constraints of the objective function;

transmitting, by the computer system, the IBDOP to the augmented reality system for display with respect to a view of the environment;

receiving, by the computer system, refined data comprising refined sensor data and refined user input data;

generating, by the computer system, an interactive refined design optimization problem (IRDOP) with respect to the IBDOP based on the refined data and the baseline data, wherein the IRDOP is generated in accordance with the refined user input data by iterating the classification of the baseline sensor data with respect to the refined sensor data based on the user interaction with the trade space; and

transmitting, by the computer system, the IRDOP to the augmented reality system for display by the human-machine interface of the augmented reality system with respect to the view of the environment.
