Abstract

Methods and systems for monitoring and interacting with a collection of geospatially aware assets, or any connected geo-location enabled device, through a virtual reality interface are disclosed. A diagram may be utilized as a real-time route progress indicator to determine a route's completion status and as a destination position indicator to determine the position of a destination among all destinations of a route. The virtual reality environment may provide the benefit of, and ability to, modify the visual field, such as to fit a large number of routes, e.g., 50,000 or more, onto an area viewable in the virtual reality environment to efficiently manage large fleets, or to divide a screen into a plurality of individual screens to organize the data in a visually effective manner. The user interface may be personalized for the user, or customized for a specific business operation.

Claims (12)

1. A machine-implemented method, comprising:

accessing at least one of a route data, an asset data and a user data;

generating a virtual reality environment based on the at least one of the route data, the asset data and the user data;

displaying the virtual reality environment; and

permitting a user to interact with the graphical user interface;

wherein the virtual reality environment comprises a plurality of screens;

wherein the plurality of screens are organized by geographic regions, and

wherein the geographic regions are compartmentalized by route density data.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

wherein the plurality of screens comprise at least one of a map, a summary table, an activity feed and a chat board,

wherein the summary table comprises at least one of an operational data, utilization data, distance data, time data, rates data, and density data, and

wherein the map permits a user to modify one or more routes using a gesture command.
