Augmented reality/virtual reality platform for a network analyzer

Abstract

A method, system and computer program product for overlaying network data on a physical space and/or network devices. Rules are applied to network data that was captured from a network device. Such rules are used to select which network data from the captured network data is to be visualized by a user. The selected network data is then enhanced with additional information (e.g., geographical location). The speed of the transmission and/or volume of the enhanced network data are adapted according to human brain frame rate and user preferences to generate processed network data. Holograms of the processed network data are created for visualization at an augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) device. The AR/VR device overlays the holograms on top of the physical space encompassing the network device and/or the network device.

1 . A method for executing commands on a network device using holograms, the method comprising:
 receiving a command to be performed on a network device from an augmented reality/virtual reality device, wherein said augmented reality/virtual reality device identifies a gesture performed by a user in a hologram and translates said identified gesture into said command, wherein said hologram overlays a physical space encompassing said network device and/or said network device;   receiving an identifier of said hologram from said augmented reality/virtual reality device;   identifying said network device associated with said hologram using said identifier of said hologram; and   issuing said command to said identified network device to be executed by said identified network device.   
     
     
         2 . The method as recited in  claim 1  further comprising:
 receiving a geographic location of said gesture; and 
 identifying said network device using said geographic location of said gesture. 
 
     
     
         3 . A computer program product for executing commands on a network device using holograms, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code comprising the programming instructions for:
 receiving a command to be performed on a network device from an augmented reality/virtual reality device, wherein said augmented reality/virtual reality device identifies a gesture performed by a user in a hologram and translates said identified gesture into said command, wherein said hologram overlays a physical space encompassing said network device and/or said network device;   receiving an identifier of said hologram from said augmented reality/virtual reality device;   identifying said network device associated with said hologram using said identifier of said hologram; and   issuing said command to said identified network device to be executed by said identified network device.   
     
     
         4 . The computer program product as recited in  claim 3 , wherein the program code further comprises the programming instructions for:
 receiving a geographic location of said gesture; and   identifying said network device using said geographic location of said gesture.   
     
     
         5 . A system, comprising:
 a memory for storing a computer program for executing commands on a network device using holograms; and   a processor connected to said memory, wherein said processor is configured to execute the program instructions of the computer program comprising:
 receiving a command to be performed on a network device from an augmented reality/virtual reality device, wherein said augmented reality/virtual reality device identifies a gesture performed by a user in a hologram and translates said identified gesture into said command, wherein said hologram overlays a physical space encompassing said network device and/or said network device; 
 receiving an identifier of said hologram from said augmented reality/virtual reality device; 
 identifying said network device associated with said hologram using said identifier of said hologram; and 
 issuing said command to said identified network device to be executed by said identified network device. 
   
     
     
         6 . The system as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the program instructions of the computer program further comprise:
 receiving a geographic location of said gesture; and   identifying said network device using said geographic location of said gesture.
