Abstract

See full text

A system may include a light source configured to emit a light beam. The system may further include a camera configured to obtain image data of an environment that includes the light beam and a target object. The system may further include a wireless communication component configured to provide the image data to a remote control device that controls an operation of a machine. The image data may be provided to cause the image data to be included in a video feed, of the environment, displayed by the remote control device, The light source may be configured to cause the light beam, in the video feed, to provide a visual indication of a distance from the machine to the target object. Control of the operation of the machine, through the remote control device, is based, at least in part, on the light beam displayed in the video feed.
