AUGMENTED REALITY BADGES
A method, system and computer readable program storage device for using augmented reality. In an embodiment, the method comprises determining one or more characteristics of a plurality of users, and determining whether a first and a second user of the plurality of users are in proximity to each other. Responsive to determining that the first and second users are in proximity to each other, determining defined information about the second user is determined; and responsive to determining the defined information of the second user, the defined information is displayed to the first user via an augmented reality display over a security badge associated with the second user. In embodiments, the determining one or more characteristics of a plurality of users includes determining one or more characteristics of the plurality of users based on location, social media, or work profiles.

determining, by one or more processors, one or more characteristics of a plurality of users;
determining, by the one or more processors, whether a first and a second user of the plurality of users are in proximity to each other;
responsive to determining that the first and second users are in proximity to each other, determining, by the one or more processors, defined information about the second user; and
responsive to determining the defined information of the second user, displaying, by the one or more processors, to the first user the defined information via an augmented reality display over a security badge associated with the second user.
2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining one or more characteristics of a plurality of users includes determining one or more characteristics of the plurality of users based on location, social media, or work profiles.
3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determined characteristic include one or more of a skill, a title, a job function, or experience.
4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the defined information includes one or more of a desired skill, experience, a job title, an importance indicator, or a shared interest.
5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying the defined information via an augmented reality display over a security badge associated with the second user includes animating the security badge around a representation of the second person to show that the second person has a particular skill.
6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying the defined information via an augmented reality display over a security badge associated with the second user includes displaying the defined information on a mobile communications device of the first user.
7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining defined information about the second user includes:
identifying the second user; and
searching through one or more specified databases for security badges associated with the second user.
8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining defined information about the second user includes searching, via a mobile communications devices of the second user, for security badges associated with the second user.
9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining defined information about the second user includes:
the first user identifying a specified characteristic; and
searching through one or more sources of information for information showing that the second use has the specified characteristic.
10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining defined information about a second user includes using a cognitive analysis to determine a skill of the second user from social media.
11 . A system comprising:
a computer network comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processing units operatively connected to the memory to transmit data to and to receive data from the memory, the one or more processor units configured for
determining one or more characteristics of a plurality of users;
determining whether a first and a second user of the plurality of users are in proximity to each other;
responsive to determining that the first and second users are in proximity to each other, determining defined information about the second user; and
responsive to determining the defined information of the second user, displaying to the first user the defined information via an augmented reality display over a security badge associated with the second user.
12 . The system according to claim 11 , wherein the determining one or more characteristics of a plurality of users includes determining one or more characteristics of the plurality of users based on location, social media, or work profiles.
13 . The system according to claim 11 , wherein the displaying the defined information via an augmented reality display over a security badge associated with the second user includes animating the security badge around a representation of the second person to show that the second person has a particular skill.
14 . The system according to claim 11 , wherein the determining defined information about the second user includes:
identifying the second user; and
searching through one or more specified databases for security badges associated with the second user.
15 . The system according to claim 11 , wherein the determining defined information of the second user includes searching, via a mobile communications devices of the second user, for security badges associated with the second user.
16 . A computer readable program storage device comprising:
a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therein, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the method of:
determining one or more characteristics of a plurality of users;
determining whether a first and a second user of the plurality of users are in proximity to each other;
responsive to determining that the first and second users are in proximity to each other, determining defined information about the second; and
responsive to determining the defined information of the second user, displaying to the first user the defined information via an augmented reality display over a security badge associated with the second user.
17 . The computer readable storage device according to claim 16 , wherein the determining one or more characteristics of a plurality of users includes determining one or more characteristics of the plurality of users based on location, social media, or work profiles.
18 . The computer readable storage device according to claim 16 , wherein the displaying the defined information via an augmented reality display over a security badge associated with the second user includes animating the security badge around a representation of the second person to show that the second person has a particular skill.
19 . The computer readable storage device according to claim 16 , wherein the determining defined information about the second user includes:
identifying the second user; and
searching through one or more specified databases for security badges associated with the second user.
20 . The computer readable storage device according to claim 16 , wherein the determining defined information of the second user includes searching, via a mobile communications devices of the second user, for security badges associated with the second user.
