- Figure 1 shows the use of smart glasses in the planning of a piece of furniture as an embodiment.
- FIG. 2 shows a method sequence according to FIG.
- the embodiment described in detail below relates to the use of smart glasses for planning or adaptation of a piece of furniture.
- Another example of application of the present invention is factory planning or planning of an industrial plant, in the context of which a machine, production line, peripherals, etc. are attached Place a given location in a factory floor and change or change its configuration.
- One aspect of the present embodiment is the use of so-called smart glasses 10 as a preferred example of a mobile device with which it is possible to associate the real environment with a virtual world (so-called “mixed reality” or “augmented reality”).
- the user is a virtual object, as in the present embodiment, a piece of furniture in the field of view, and thus in the real environment, displayed.
- the smart glasses 10 has this for an HMD display (head mounted display).
- smart glasses 10 will be described as a mobile device. In other embodiments, alternatively or additionally, a smartphone, a laptop or a tablet can be used.
- the smart glasses 10 is additionally equipped with sensors.
- a sensor unit is provided with which the concretely observed environment can be measured.
- smart glasses 10 in other embodiments are equipped with a position sensor, one or more acceleration sensors and / or one or more gyro sensors.
- the position sensor triangulation method via WLAN or Bluetooth
- the determined data can be used for position tracking.
- the alignment of the smart glasses 10, and thus the orientation of the user's head can be determined.
- smart glasses 10 preferably have a radio interface, for example a WLAN module, so that the determined information can be transmitted to a database.
- a Bluetooth connection or a mobile connection according to UMTS or LTE standard can be used.
- the user first has the opportunity to use smart glasses 10 to measure the spatial environment in which a particular piece of furniture is to be integrated (step S1).
- smart glasses 10 For this purpose, for example, laser distance sensors are integrated in the smart glasses, with which limiting surfaces, such as walls or roof slopes, can be detected.
- limiting surfaces such as walls or roof slopes
- a virtual image of the real space 20 is created, which is dimensioned true to scale.
- various dimensions 21a, 21b are included, which are indicated in Fig. 1 only by way of example.
- an external measuring system for example a laser measuring system
- the values determined by the external measuring system can thus be transmitted to the smart goggles and used accordingly.
- a preselection in a configurator for example, with regard to a specific piece of furniture, a group of pieces of furniture or partial profiles of a piece of furniture (step S2).
- a corresponding piece of furniture is for example for the concrete space conditions a suitable variant that the user can select from a list.
- the preselection of the underlying data pieces of furniture such as dimensions, colors, material structures, etc., may be stored locally in a memory of smart glasses 10 or on a server in the local network. Alternatively, a database, for example deposited on a cloud server, is used.
- This data could previously be queried via a standardized interface from a particular manufacturer or user-defined group of manufacturers. Instead of a standardized interface, the 3D data of the objects could be provided standardized by the manufacturers. Alternatively, it would be necessary to have a conversion module that converts the various data models into a single model when objects or pieces of furniture from different manufacturers in the database are to be updated in an updated manner.
- the selected piece of furniture is subsequently displayed against the background of the real space (step S3).
- the piece of furniture is virtual, but the room is real.
- the representation takes place in augmented reality.
- step S4 The exact positioning or adaptation of the dimensions subsequently takes place interactively in conjunction with the real environment (step S4).
- changes such as an adjustment of the dimensions and / or a repositioning of the piece of furniture by pushing or pulling with gesture control.
- the interaction takes place in combination with the real environment.
- the piece of furniture can only be pushed up to a certain wall or increased in the direction of a sloping roof or the like.
- a concrete example is to choose from a piece of furniture, such as a wall cabinet, the upper deck panel and remove virtually. Subsequently, an opening can be created in an area of the cover panel, which will later serve as a pipe passage.
- the data glasses could also detect and measure a wall passage for the exhaust air of the hood in the kitchen and automatically place and dimension a corresponding opening in the cover panel. After performing the adjustment of the piece of furniture this can be integrated again by gesture control in the modified version in the piece of furniture.
- boundary conditions can also be taken into account when planning the piece of furniture, for example the concrete colors and structures of the floor, the wall and the ceiling at the installation site, or the light from an adjacently arranged window or window Space available lighting.
- the user can iteratively improve the desired product and adapt it to the concretely present conditions, wherein the detection by means of the sensors offers a high degree of planning security and thus supports the optimal purchase decision.
- a user can interact with the virtual space and, for example, test the ergonomic design of doors, drawers, etc.
- movable elements such as drawers or doors
- the correct positioning of certain elements of the furniture such as shelves, floors, etc. are checked.
- the guided surveying of the room with the smart glasses 10 measurement errors can be avoided.
- the user is shown that the planning accuracy has been achieved in the measured zone.
- dimension lines or another display can be displayed in green. If the accuracy was not achieved, and if the user has to repeat the measurement if necessary, a visualization in red appears.
- the smart glasses 10 can output an acoustic release signal via an integrated loudspeaker.
- the integrated loudspeaker By means of the integrated loudspeaker, it is also possible to read an assembly instruction to the user or to contact a consultant by telephone. In addition, it is possible to visually display an assembly instruction. The visual indication may optionally be in addition to the acoustic message via the loudspeaker.
- the work result can be stored in a local memory of smart glasses 10 or in a globally available cloud server (step S5). Interim results can also be saved accordingly.
- step S6 it is possible either by means of smart glasses or another, preferably mobile, electronic device to transmit data to the manufacturer (step S6), for example, trigger an ordering process at the manufacturer. This could also be done via an interface, so that the use of smart glasses is manufacturer-independent.
- machining operations such as drilling, cutting, fitting, etc. may be performed on parts of the planned furniture after data of the finished furniture has been sent to the manufacturer.
- the data in particular CAD / CAM data, are sent to the manufacturer of the piece of furniture.
- step S6 the processing time of the order and the planned delivery can be displayed to the user. Furthermore, a calculation and an invoice creation in the context of step S6 is feasible.
- the present invention is not limited to use in a space bounded by walls or the like. Rather, it is possible to configure a piece of furniture in a relatively open environment or fit.
- garden furniture can be virtually arranged and adapted on a terrace as an example. In this case, certain corner points of the field of view, so for example, the limitation of the terrace due to the floor covering, used to specify the planning location.
- Another example of application of the present invention is factory planning or planning of an industrial plant in which a machine, production line, peripherals, etc. are placed in a predetermined location in a factory floor and their configuration must be adjusted or changed.
- a processing machine it is possible to select a processing machine and display it in an augmented reality in the factory building, where protective devices such as protective fences, safety mats or the like can be placed and adapted according to the physical conditions , as conveyor belts, to connect with each other and to design the guide paths of the workpieces accordingly, so that a target-actual comparison is immediately possible.
