Abstract

A method to enhance security screening includes generating an augmented reality (AR) interface incorporating scan results from scanning a target in a security scanner. The method displays, to a user of an AR interface, the AR interface mapped to the target and determines guidance including an action relevant to addressing the scan results. The method displays, to the user via the AR interface, the guidance including the action for the user to carry out and monitors user actions. The method displays, to the user via the AR interface, confirmation that the user has carried out the action.
