Abstract
Empowered by augmented reality (AR) technologies, the present disclosure allows a user to display virtual content in a physical reality and turn an AR-ready handheld mobile device into a dimension measuring tool. The present disclosure allows the user to first display a virtual container asset, with its actual size in physical reality, in any given configuration, and then create a virtual dimensional equivalent of an item-to-be-fit based on dimensional data captured by a 6-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) device or the like. Finally, the user can place the virtual item into the virtual container to evaluate the capacity and fit in the given configuration.
