Patent attributes
The embodiments provide an augmented reality device for increasing human efficiency in navigating a distribution site and retrieving different customer order items from distinct locations within the distribution site. The augmented reality device uses at least one camera to scan reference points distributed across the distribution site. From the scanning, the device determines its position relative to a destination within the distribution site. The device layers over a real-world view, navigational information directing movement of a device user along a most efficient path to the destination. The camera further scans items falling within its field of view. The device performs feature matching in order to identify a particular item of interest within the field of view. The device layers over the real-world view, visual makers distinguishing the particular item from other items as well instructions or other identifying information relating to the particular item.
