US Patent 11657366 System and method for augmented reality loading

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for using augmented reality to improve loading, and in particular improve loading when the types and order of items to be loaded is unknown. A server uses information regarding the packages which have already been stored in a storage area to generate a three-dimensional map of where the stored packages currently are placed. Upon receiving information indicating a subsequent package is going to be stored, the server can identify the best place to store that package in the storage area, then communicate that storage location to an augmented reality device worn by a worker. The worker can then have a visual indication showing where and how to place the subsequent package.
