Abstract: Systems and methods of augmenting objects associated with personal data. A system includes a communication module, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to authenticate a client device based on a credential associated with an account record. The processor receives, from the client device, an indication of a document marker and obtains, from the account record, personal data associated with the document marker. The processor transmits, to the client device, display data based on the personal data. The display data configures the client device to display an augmented reality output based on the personal data and at least one further image of the document. The personal data may include dynamic data varying over time. The display data configuring the client device to display the augmented output may be based on current personal data obtained from the account record.

Abstract: A method for establishing a trusted session between a first computing device and a computer server includes obtaining identifying information for the first computing device and a second computing device. The identifying information includes identifying information corresponding to the networks to which each of the computing devices are directly connected. Based on the identifying information it may be determined that there is sufficient correspondence between the first and second computing devices. If so, an indication is sent to the second computing device requesting confirmation that the first computing device should be authenticated to the account. An indication confirming this may then be received and, responsive thereto, the first computing device is authenticated to the account. Related computer systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Computer systems and methods for accessing and presenting value characteristics of vehicles in augmented reality are disclosed. A method of accessing and presenting value characteristics in augmented reality includes capturing an image of a portion of an environment including at least a portion of a motor vehicle, and displaying an augmented reality version of the environment. Displaying the augmented reality version of the environment includes: identifying, based on the captured image, at least a make and model of the motor vehicle; obtaining, from one or more data stores based on the make and model, at least one value characteristic of the vehicle; and compositing a second image of a portion of the environment with an indication of the at least one value characteristic of the vehicle. Value characteristics of a vehicle may include insurance cost, finance cost, fuel cost and/or total cost of ownership.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method allows initiating activation in augmented reality of an un-activated physical token. The method includes displaying an augmented reality version of an environment including the physical token. Displaying the augmented reality version of the environment includes capturing an image of a portion of the environment including the physical token; presenting a display of augmented reality corresponding to the portion of the environment by compositing the image of the portion of the environment with a graphical, interactive user interface control, the user interface control positioned in a defined position in augmented reality relative to the physical token. The method further includes, responsive to receipt of input corresponding to an interaction with the user interface control, initiating activation of the physical token. Related computer systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A computer system comprises a processor; a wearable virtual-reality device coupled to the processor, the virtual-reality device including a display device and a head tracker; and a memory coupled to the processor storing instructions that, when executed by the computer system, cause the computer system to detect, based on movements tracked via the head tracker, that a gaze path through a virtual environment displayed on the display device corresponds to movement of a first target; when it is detected that the gaze path corresponds to movement of the first target, cause the first target to disappear from the virtual environment displayed on the display device, and detect that the gaze path through the virtual environment displayed on the display device corresponds to movement of a second target; and when it is detected that the gaze path corresponds to movement of the second target, perform an action.

Abstract: Reliable detection of input by a virtual-reality or augmented reality system is disclosed. Detection of input by the system may include displaying, via a display device, a stereoscopic rendering of a portion of a three-dimensional virtual environment including targets moving in predictable patterns. The rendering is updated based on movements tracked via a head tracker to show corresponding portions of the three-dimensional virtual environment along a gaze path through it. A first condition is detected if the gaze path corresponds to the movement one of the related targets along its pattern. Input is detected if, following detection of the first condition, it is detected that the gaze path also corresponds to the movement another of the targets along its pattern.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing location-based appointment operations is disclosed. The method includes receiving input indicating an instruction to perform an action related to appointments. Responsive to the input indicating the instruction to perform the action related to appointments, it may be determined that a computing device is proximate to a physical location where locations are schedulable. Then, responsive to determining that the computing device is proximate to the physical location, information related to scheduling appointments at the physical location is received via a network. The indication based on the received information is presented at the computing device. Input requesting an action in relation to an appointment at the physical location may be received at the computing device. An indication to initiate the requested action may be sent via the network. Related computing devices and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for presenting placards in augmented reality includes receiving, from a mobile computing device via a network, an indication of an image of at least a portion of a first placard captured in an environment. A placard matching the indication is then identified in a data store storing information related to a plurality of placards. Images of further placards related to the matching placard are retrieved from the data store. Based on configuration data, one of the images of further placards is selected. The selected one of the images of further placards for display in augmented reality is sent to the mobile computing device via the network. Other related methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
