Alternative Interaction Method For AR HUDs

In an inventory environment, users may need to carry and operate a rugged barcode scanner. Rugged barcode scanners are typically handheld barcode scanners built to withstand various extreme temperatures and conditions, and, in some instances, can even withstand being dropped on the ground or into water. However, these rugged barcode scanners typically do not include screens. My invention is focusing on a potential solution with the use of Augmented Reality Heads Up Displays.

Abstract

A system configured to display an augmented-reality user interface for a barcode reader using a heads-up display assembly is provided. An augmented reality adapter having a camera and a presentation generator is configured to identify a unique identifier associated with a handheld barcode reader and provide an augmented reality display based on data captured by the handheld barcode reader. The presentation generator may position the augmented reality display based on a location of the unique identifier within the field of view (FOV) of the camera.
