Abstract:
Methods and systems for the remote delivery of professional services, using augmented reality (AR), are disclosed. In embodiments, a user scans or acquires a physical marker, such as an optical code or radio beacon. The physical marker provides information to the user's device to allow it to connect to a server. The physical marker may also provide contextual data, possibly in conjunction with contextual data from the user's device. The server then provides a list of professionals on the basis of the contextual data. The user selects a professional, and the server initiates a video session between a user device and a professional device, where the professional can superimpose one or more AR objects on the video, to be displayed on the user device.
