Abstract
A mobile device that includes a camera and an extended reality software application program is employed by a user in an operating environment, such as an industrial environment. The user aims the camera within the mobile device at optical data markers, such as QR codes, that are associated with machines in the environment. The mobile device acquires an image from the camera and decodes the optical data markers included in the acquired image. The mobile device queries the data intake and query system for the values of metrics for the machines associated with the decoded optical data markers. Upon receiving the metric values from the data intake and query system, the mobile device generates AR overlays and superimposes the AR overlays onto the acquired image. The mobile device displays the image with superimposed AR overlays on a display device.
