Abstract

Technology is described for resource management based on data including image data of a resource captured by at least one capture device of at least one personal audiovisual (A/V) apparatus including a near-eye, augmented reality (AR) display. A resource is automatically identified from image data captured by at least one capture device of at least one personal A/V apparatus and object reference data. A location in which the resource is situated and a 3D space position or volume of the resource in the location is tracked. A property of the resource is also determined from the image data and tracked. A function of a resource may also be stored for determining whether the resource is usable for a task. Responsive to notification criteria for the resource being satisfied, image data related to the resource is displayed on the near-eye AR display.
