  • Patent number: 11983835
    Abstract: Techniques for placing and manipulating multiple three-dimensional (3D) models using mobile augmented reality (AR) are described. One technique includes receiving a first request to initialize an AR simulation of a first product for sale within a physical environment. In response to the first request, a first 3D model of the first product for sale is rendered onto the screen. After rendering the first 3D model, a second request to visualize a second product for sale within the physical environment is received during the AR simulation of the first product for sale. In response to the second request, a second 3D model of the second product for sale is rendered onto the screen with the first 3D model.

  • Patent number: 8017894
    Abstract: Systems and methods for imaging a distant light source at an enhanced resolution is provided. An evanescent field generator an evanescent field generator that receives an incident electromagnetic field representing at least one distant light source and restores high spatial frequency components to the incident electromagnetic field, resulting in an evanescent field. A negative refractive index lens assembly focuses the evanescent field onto a focal plane. A photodetector assembly located in the focal plane detects the focused evanescent field as an image of the at least one distant light source.

  • Patent number: 7570221
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing the beamwidth of an antenna system are provided. An evanescent field generator generates an evanescent field representing a far field radio frequency (RF) signal received at the antenna system. A negative refractive index lens assembly focuses the evanescent field onto a focal plane. An RF detector assembly located in the focal plane detects the amplified evanescent field.
