1. A method for augmented reality navigation in network test environments, the method comprising:
at a user device of a user, wherein the user device is executing an augmented reality (AR) navigation application:
providing, via the AR navigation application and to an AR navigation system, an image of an office layout representing an office in a real-world test environment;
receiving, via the AR navigation application and from the AR navigation system, a request for the user to visit, while carrying the user device, two or more points of the office layout in the real-world test environment;
sending, via the AR navigation application and to the AR navigation system, distance information between the two or more points visited, wherein the AR navigation system uses the distance information in determining a scale of the office layout and generates a virtual representation of the office based on the determination;
communicating, via the AR navigation application and to the AR navigation system, user location information and resource identification information obtained from a visual code or a user interface, wherein the resource identification information indicates a physical network testing or monitoring resource in the real-world test environment;
receiving, via the AR navigation application and from the AR navigation system, navigation information for navigating the user to the physical network testing or monitoring resource;
providing, via a display, the navigation information for navigating the user to the physical network testing or monitoring resource;
requesting, via the AR navigation application and from the AR navigation system, active user information indicating active users of the physical network testing or monitoring resource;
selecting, via the AR navigation application, an active user of the physical network testing or monitoring resource to request navigation information for navigating the user to the active user;
receiving, via the AR navigation application and from the AR navigation system, navigation information for navigating the user to the active user; and
providing, via the display, the navigation information for navigating the user to the active user, wherein providing the navigation information includes generating an augmented path overlay that includes visual indicators indicating a path for the user to follow and providing, via the display, the augmented path overlay over a live video of the real-world test environment.
