Abstract

An augmented reality (AR) display application generates mapped visualization content overlaid on a real world physical environment. The AR display application receives sensor feeds, location information, and orientation information from wearable devices within the environment. A tessellation surface is visually mapped to surfaces of the environment based on a depth-based point cloud. A texture is applied to the tessellation surface and the tessellation may be viewed overlaying the surfaces of the environment via a wearable device.
