Avatar-based augmented reality engagement

Abstract

A method, computer system, and computer program product for determining an engagement level of an individual is provided. The present invention may include capturing a plurality of image data depicting a relative location of a user. The present invention may also include identifying an individual within the captured image data. The present invention may further include gathering a plurality of engagement level indicator data associated with the identified individual. The present invention may also include calculating a current engagement level of the identified individual using the plurality of gathered engagement level indicator data.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A processor-implemented method for determining an engagement level of an individual, the method comprising:
 detecting, by a processor, a user intent to engage with another individual based on a user interaction with an augmented reality device;   receiving a user-designated topic;   capturing a plurality of image data depicting a relative location of a user;   identifying an individual within the captured image data using a social media location check-in and a plurality of livestreaming information;   generating a profile for each identified individual;   storing the generated profile in a repository;   gathering a plurality of engagement level indicator data associated with an identified individual;   calculating a current engagement level of the identified individual using the plurality of gathered engagement level indicator data and a variability of conversation of the identified individual with one or more other individuals; and   generating a relative engagement model showing an engagement of the identified individual compared to one or more individuals within a plurality of captured image data using the calculated current engagement level; and   modifying a device display by displaying a preconfigured avatar, corresponding to the calculated current engagement level.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 detecting a user intent to engage with another individual based on a user interaction with an augmented reality device.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the current engagement level is represented as a value on a sliding scale. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the user interaction is selected from a group consisting of a plurality of audible phrases into a microphone, a button push, an activation of a menu, a plurality of user gestures captured by an image capturing device associated with the augmented reality device, and a user attention to a specific individual. 
     
     
         5 . A computer system for determining an engagement level of an individual, the computer system comprising:
 one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
 detecting a user intent to engage with another individual based on a user interaction with an augmented reality device; 
 receiving a user-designated topic; 
 capturing a plurality of image data depicting a relative location of a user; 
 identifying an individual within the captured image data using a social media location check-in and a plurality of livestreaming information; 
 generating a profile for each identified individual; 
 storing the generated profile in a repository; 
 gathering a plurality of engagement level indicator data associated with an identified individual; 
 calculating a current engagement level of the identified individual using the plurality of gathered engagement level indicator data and a variability of conversation of the identified individual with one or more other individuals; and 
 generating a relative engagement model showing an engagement of the identified individual compared to one or more individuals within a plurality of captured image data using the calculated current engagement level; and 
 modifying a device display by displaying a preconfigured avatar, corresponding to the calculated current engagement level. 
   
     
     
         6 . The computer system of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 detecting a user intent to engage with another individual based on a user interaction with an augmented reality device.   
     
     
         7 . The computer system of  claim 5 , wherein the current engagement level is represented as a value on a sliding scale. 
     
     
         8 . The computer system of  claim 6 , wherein the user interaction is selected from a group consisting of a plurality of audible phrases into a microphone, a button push, an activation of a menu, a plurality of user gestures captured by an image capturing device associated with the augmented reality device, and a user attention to a specific individual. 
     
     
         9 . A computer program product for determining an engagement level of an individual, the computer program product comprising:
 one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage medium, the program instructions executable by a processor capable of performing a method, the method comprising:
 detecting a user intent to engage with another individual based on a user interaction with an augmented reality device; 
 receiving a user-designated topic; 
 capturing a plurality of image data depicting a relative location of a user; 
 identifying an individual within the captured image data using a social media location check-in and a plurality of livestreaming information; 
 generating a profile for each identified individual; 
 storing the generated profile in a repository; 
 gathering a plurality of engagement level indicator data associated with an identified individual; 
 calculating a current engagement level of the identified individual using the plurality of gathered engagement level indicator data and a variability of conversation of the identified individual with one or more other individuals; and 
 generating a relative engagement model showing an engagement of the identified individual compared to one or more individuals within a plurality of captured image data using the calculated current engagement level; and 
 modifying a device display by displaying a preconfigured avatar, corresponding to the calculated current engagement level. 
   
     
     
         10 . The computer program product of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 detecting a user intent to engage with another individual based on a user interaction with an augmented reality device.   
     
     
         11 . The computer program product of  claim 9 , wherein the current engagement level is represented as a value on a sliding scale. 
     
     
         12 . The computer program product of  claim 10 , wherein the user interaction is selected from a group consisting of a plurality of audible phrases into a microphone, a button push, an activation of a menu, a plurality of user gestures captured by an image capturing device associated with the augmented reality device, and a user attention to a specific individual.
