Description

The utility model relates to the ability to control elements of augmented reality using material carriers. The availability of this device will allow it to be used in various ways, namely for managing and interacting with multimedia presentations, entertainment products, and training materials.

With the advent of augmented reality technology, the ability to interact with information has acquired completely new forms. It is assumed that this technology will be used with augmented reality glasses, where gestures and voice input come to replace the familiar user - touch control. As practice has shown, such a solution is not convenient for educational applications using augmented reality technology. Using a voice assistant to control the application and interact with virtual content causes a number of inconveniences for users. Voice commands must be entered in English, which, in turn, creates a number of difficulties for the user. According to a Levada Center study, 70% of Russians do not speak foreign languages. Thus, the majority of application users from Russia may experience difficulties with the application interface; it will take time and effort to study it. Gesture management is not a convenient solution in all situations. Applications that use many commands will require a lot of effort on the part of the user to memorize them, and it may also not always be possible to correlate the meaning of the necessary command with a gesture, which again will require additional time to learn the interface.

The interface of augmented reality applications, like the interface of any other application, should be simple and straightforward. The user must intuitively find elements as they are needed, and in training applications, compliance with these conditions is simply necessary, it is important to free the student from a long study of the interface, allowing him to use his strength to directly perform the task. A properly designed interface simplifies the assimilation of the program, increases speed, while an unsuccessful interface complicates the process of getting to know and interacting with the program, which can often lead to unwillingness to use the application, or even to stop working with it.

A device for the formation of augmented reality, made in the form of a printed object, equipped with a "secondary page", turning vertically upward. This "page" is designed to accommodate a tablet or smartphone, on the screen of which various images appear corresponding to the text and supplement it (http: / /www.overclockers.ru/hardnews/74723/google - zapatentovala-knigu-s-elementami-dopolnennoj-realnosti.html).

The disadvantage of this device is the complexity of implementation, namely the need to fix the device to display augmented reality on the screen in only one position.

A well-known book with elements of augmented reality. To project images, a small device is used that connects to the center of the book. Also provided and sound, which provides a small speaker (http.//www.overclockers.ru/hardnews/74723/google-zapatentovala-knigu-s-elementami-dopolnennoj-realnosti.html).

The disadvantage of this device is the book is a technically complex device that requires additional electrical power.

The disadvantages of the above technical solutions are the complexity of the implementation, expressed in the presence of additional designs that limit the overview of the elements of augmented reality, as well as the difficulty in production, which leads to an increase in the cost of the final product, limited functionality.

As a prototype, a three-dimensional marker for augmented reality glasses, made in the form of a cube, each face of which contains graphic images made with the possibility of placing augmented reality glasses in the field of view (see US 2015/0248785, A1, 09/03/2015, G06T 19 / 00, 20 p., (D1)). Virtual content placed on markers glued to the sides of the cube is displayed directly on the sides of this cube, and “control” refers to the ability to rotate / move the given cube (physical) and, as a result, the virtual content rotates / moves (virtual content) positioned relative to the augmented reality marker, moving the marker, as a result, the object moves).

The disadvantage of this solution is that the proposed technical solution is a means of forming augmented reality, but cannot control the application, both with and without augmented reality elements.

The objective of the utility model is to create a marker for augmented reality glasses for managing applications, both with and without augmented reality elements.

The technical result achieved during the implementation of the task is to create a simple three-dimensional marker for augmented reality glasses, which allows you to control the application, both with and without augmented reality elements.

To obtain the desired technical result, a three-dimensional marker for augmented reality glasses, made in the form of a cube, each face of which contains graphic images, made with the possibility of placing augmented reality glasses in the field of view, characterized in that the three-dimensional marker is made to be displayed in the field of view augmented reality glasses of only one face, while on each face of the medium there is one symbol corresponding to one of the teams for augmented reality glasses, in addition, on each face of a three-dimensional marker, in addition to the team symbol, the team designation in the user's language is indicated by augmented reality glasses.

A comparative analysis of the features of the claimed solution with the signs of the prototype and analogues indicates the conformity of the claimed solution to the criterion of "novelty."

The combination of features of the utility model formula provides the ability to create a simple three-dimensional marker for augmented reality glasses that allows you to rotate / move / scale / enter information into the program and, in principle, carry out any interaction with any virtual content presented both in the augmented reality environment and on the screen devices by simply pointing the device’s camera to the side with the operation. At the same time, this control allows you to customize for a specific user, set the time for applying the operation, and provides the ability to automatically select the application.

In FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a three-dimensional marker for augmented reality glasses; in FIG. 2 illustrates the use of a three-dimensional marker; in FIG. 3 shows a hexagonal prism as an embodiment of a three-dimensional marker; in FIG. 4 shows the appearance of a three-dimensional marker for entering / selecting information; in FIG. Figure 5 shows an example of using a three-dimensional marker in a student’s testing process.

The drawings show a three-dimensional marker 1, its edges 2 and symbols 3, the designation of command 4 in the user's language. As a three-dimensional marker 1, a cube is used, made with the possibility of excluding the simultaneous display of several faces 2. On each face 2

three-dimensional marker 1 placed one symbol 3 corresponding to one of the commands for the device for the formation of augmented reality, which is used as augmented reality glasses (not shown in the drawings).

On each face of the three-dimensional marker 1, in addition to the symbol of command 3, the designation of command 4 is given in the user's language.

It is optimal to use a cube for three-dimensional marker 1, but the cubic shape is not the only solution; other three-dimensional geometric bodies can also act as three-dimensional marker 1, in which simultaneous viewing of two or more faces, for example, a prism, is almost impossible (Fig. 3).

The claimed device was developed for applications where it is necessary to interact with virtual content: rotate, scale, change the color or shape of the object, as well as enter data. Three-dimensional marker 1 is a cube, 4x4 centimeters, printed on a 3D printer, with 3 symbols glued on its face 2, which depict the corresponding operations: zoom in, zoom out, rotate, etc. (see Fig. 1). To carry out the necessary operation, it is quite simple for a specified time (1.5 seconds) to look at the corresponding side of the cube with the name of the operation, and it will apply (Fig. 2). Using a cube as a three-dimensional marker 1 (control / input marker) eliminates the simultaneous operation of two or more operations, and the markers displayed on its sides give an intuitive idea of the interaction possibilities of available applications, without forcing the user to resort to studying the usage manual. The device is designed for augmented reality glasses. But the proposed three-dimensional marker is also suitable for a smartphone that supports augmented reality (this is almost any modern smartphone (system requirements for Android 5.1 and higher, for iOS 11 and higher).

The practical application of the cubic shape of the three-dimensional marker 1 as an interface element is not limited to solving problems associated with changing the properties of an object; it can also be used to organize navigation of the user menu, move and select the necessary commands. In some tasks, the proposed three-dimensional marker 1 can be used to enter data into the application (Fig. 4). When solving the test (in an application with augmented reality technology), you can enter the correct answer number simply by showing the corresponding side of the cube / prism or the answer of type “yes” or “no” (Fig. 5). The answer can also be a number, text or image.
