Localizing devices in augmented reality environment
First Claim
1. On a portable augmented reality computing device, a method comprising:
- establishing a coordinate frame for an environment;
discovering, via a location-sensitive input device, a location of a physical manifestation of a device in the environment;
assigning a device location for the device in the coordinate frame based upon the location of the physical manifestation;
modifying an augmented reality image displayed by the portable augmented reality computing device based upon a change in relative position between the portable augmented reality computing device and the device in the environment by modifying a portion of the augmented reality image that corresponds to the device location to reduce occlusion of a view of the device in the environment by the augmented reality image.

Abstract
Examples are disclosed herein that relate to identifying and localizing devices in an environment via an augmented reality display device. One example provides, on a portable augmented reality computing device, a method including establishing a coordinate frame for an environment, and discovering, via a location-sensitive input device, a location of a physical manifestation of the device in the environment, assigning a device location for the device in the coordinate frame based upon the location of the physical manifestation, and modifying an output of the portable augmented reality computing device based upon a change in relative position between the portable augmented reality computing device and the physical manifestation in environment.

9. An augmented reality display device, comprising:
-
a see-through display device; a location-sensitive input device; a logic device; and a storage device comprising instructions executable by the logic device to establish a coordinate frame for an environment based upon data from the location-sensitive input device, conduct communication with a device to direct the device to alter a physical manifestation of the device in the environment, the physical manifestation being detectable by the location-sensitive input device, detect, via the location-sensitive input device, a location of the physical manifestation based on an alteration of the physical manifestation of the device in the environment, assign a device location for the device in the coordinate frame based upon the location of the physical manifestation, and modify an output of the augmented reality display device based upon a change in relative position between the augmented reality display device and the physical manifestation in the environment by modifying a portion of an augmented reality image that corresponds to the device location to reduce occlusion of a view of the device in the environment by the augmented reality image. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computing device, comprising:
-
a logic device; and a storage device comprising instructions executable by the logic device to establish a connection with a portable augmented reality display device remote from the computing device, receive instruction from the portable augmented reality display device requesting the computing device to control each of a plurality of devices in the environment to alter a physical manifestation of the device in the environment, send to the portable augmented reality display device information regarding a device address of each device in the environment, send instruction to a first device of the plurality of devices in the environment to alter a physical manifestation output by the first device that is detectable by a location-sensitive input device of the portable augmented reality display device, receive confirmation from the portable augmented reality display device confirming discovery of the first device, send instruction to a second device of the plurality of devices in the environment to alter a physical manifestation output by the second device that is detectable by the location-sensitive input device of the portable augmented reality display device, and receive confirmation from the portable augmented reality display device confirming discovery of the second device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
