System and method for increasing the system awareness of IT operations personnel with augmented reality

This invention describes an augmented reality system designed to help IT staff understand their equipment better. It uses a camera and location sensors to identify IT devices in a room, then pulls up information about them and overlays that data directly onto the live camera view. The claims narrow this to specifically include determining information about virtual machines running on the identified equipment.

Why it matters: Filed before modern mobile augmented reality and advanced computer vision were widespread, the core techniques for identifying objects and overlaying data have become significantly more robust and accessible. The processing power and sensor capabilities of today's devices make real-time AR rendering and image analysis much more feasible than in 2013.
