VIRTUAL MEASUREMENT TOOL FOR A WEARABLE VISUALIZATION DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed are a technique of generating and displaying a virtual measurement tool in a wearable visualization device, such as a headset, glasses or goggles equipped to provide an augmented reality and/or virtual reality experience for the user. In certain embodiments, the device generates the tool by determining multiple points, each at a different location in a three-dimensional space occupied by the user, based on input from the user, for example, by use of gesture recognition, gaze tracking and/or speech recognition. The device displays the tool so that the tool appears to the user to be overlaid on a real-time, real view of the user's environment.

1. A method comprising:
generating a virtual measurement tool, by a visualization device worn by a user, by determining a plurality of points, each at a different location in a three-dimensional space occupied by the user, based on at least one of: recognizing at least one gesture of the user, tracking a gaze of the user or recognizing speech of the user; and displaying the virtual measurement tool to the user, by the visualization device, so that the virtual measurement tool appears to the user to be overlaid on a real view of the three-dimensional space occupied by the user.
