Abstract

A method, user device, and system for displaying augmented anatomical features is disclosed. The method includes detecting a target individual having a body. The method also includes tracking the target individual. The method further includes displaying, on a display, a visual representation of the body. The method further includes identifying a plurality of reference markers on the visual representation of the body. The method also includes determining, at a processor, an anatomical profile of the target individual based on the plurality of reference markers. The anatomical profile includes a plurality of anatomical features. The method further includes displaying, on the display, graphical representations of the anatomical features overlaid on the visual representation of the body. The graphical representations of the anatomical features are oriented on the visual representation of the body based on the anatomical profile.

Claims (45)

1. A method comprising:

detecting a target individual having a body;

tracking the target individual;

displaying, on a display, a visual representation of the body;

identifying a plurality of reference markers on the visual representation of the body based on gestures within an environment of the target individual, each gesture corresponding to one or more particular parts of the body of the target individual and being captured by an image capture device in communication with the display;

determining, at a processor, an anatomical profile of the target individual based on the plurality of reference markers, the anatomical profile including a plurality of anatomical features; and

displaying, on the display, graphical representations of the anatomical features overlaid on the visual representation of the body, the graphical representations of the anatomical features being oriented on the visual representation of the body based on the anatomical profile.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of reference markers correspond to at least one of a navel, a portion of a sternum, a portion of a hip, a portion of a collarbone, or a portion of a shoulder.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anatomical profile of the target individual is further based on a plurality of data corresponding to the body.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of anatomical features includes at least one of organs, bones, muscles, or blood vessels.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical representations correspond to a future state of the target individual, the future state comprising changes to the anatomical features.

6. A user device comprising:

a display;

an image capture device in communication with the display;

data processing hardware in communication with the display; and

memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware, the memory hardware storing instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations including:

detecting a target individual having a body;

tracking the target individual;

displaying, on the display, a visual representation of the body;

identifying a plurality of reference markers on the visual representation of the body based on gestures within an environment of the target individual, each gesture corresponding to one or more particular parts of the body of the target individual and being captured by the image capture device in communication with the display;

determining an anatomical profile of the target individual based on the plurality of reference markers, the anatomical profile including a plurality of anatomical features; and

displaying, on the display, graphical representations of the anatomical features overlaid on the visual representation of the body, the graphical representations of the anatomical features being oriented on the visual representation of the body based on the anatomical profile.

7. The user device of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of reference markers correspond to at least one of a navel, a portion of a sternum, a portion of a hip, a portion of a collarbone, or a portion of a shoulder.

8. The user device of claim 6 , wherein the anatomical profile of the target individual is further based on a plurality of data corresponding to the body.

9. The user device of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of anatomical features includes at least one of organs, bones, muscles, or blood vessels.

10. The user device of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of reference markers are identified by the data processing hardware.

11. The user device of claim 6 , wherein the anatomical profile of the target individual includes a default anatomical profile that is modified based on the plurality of reference markers.

12. The user device of claim 6 , wherein the target individual is disposed within the environment.

13. The user device of claim 6 , wherein identifying the plurality of reference markers on the visual representation of the body based on gestures within the environment of the target individual includes identifying the plurality of reference markers on the visual representation of the body based on hand gestures within the environment of the target individual.

14. A system comprising:

a user device including:

a first display;

data processing hardware in communication with the first display;

memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware, the memory hardware storing instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations including:

detecting a target individual having a body;

tracking the target individual;

displaying, on the first display, a visual representation of the body;

identifying a plurality of reference markers on the visual representation of the body based on gestures within an environment of the target individual, each gesture corresponding to one or more particular parts of the body of the target individual and being captured by an image capture device in communication with the first display; and

determining an anatomical profile of the target individual based on the plurality of reference markers, the anatomical profile including a plurality of anatomical features; and

a wearable in communication with the user device, the wearable including a second display configured to display graphical representations of the anatomical features overlaid on the visual representation of the body, the graphical representations of the anatomical features being oriented on the visual representation of the body based on the anatomical profile.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of reference markers correspond to at least one of a navel, a portion of a sternum, a portion of a hip, a portion of a collarbone, or a portion of a shoulder.

16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the anatomical profile of the target individual is further based on a plurality of data corresponding to the body.

17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of anatomical features includes at least one of organs, bones, muscles, or blood vessels.

18. The system of claim 14 , wherein the wearable is further configured to detect and track the target individual independently of the user device.

19. The system of claim 14 , wherein the graphical representations correspond to a future state of the target individual, the future state comprising changes to the anatomical features.
