  • Publication number: 20230073750
    Abstract: Augmented reality (AR) content may be created and stored as an imprint on a virtual model, where the virtual model is modeled after or mimics a real world environment. Intuitive mobile device interfaces may be used to link content with objects or surfaces near a mobile device. Subsequent users may access the same content depending on one or more access parameters.

  • Patent number: 11410330
    Abstract: A camera's field of view is determined using image data and location information. Accurate augmented reality representations are provided based on the determined field of view in an absence of a priori knowledge of the camera's field of view.

  • Patent number: 11302067
    Abstract: Realistic augmented reality (AR) augmentations are produced in reliance on a 3D virtual model modeled after a real world environment. Light and shadow parameters for the augmentations are produced not only from real world parameters such as, for example, a real present position of the actual sun, but also from virtual world parameters which characterize the virtual model or virtual objects within the virtual model.

  • Patent number: 11232636
    Abstract: AR engines modify a picture or video of the real world to include more than simply real world content. The modified image/frame content is passed along to one or multiple downstream AR engines which treat the content as original input. Modifications to images/frames may include the addition of virtual markers. Virtual markers may be visual content of virtual origin that is added to an image or frame. A virtual marker may trigger a predetermined reaction from a downstream AR engine when that downstream AR engine processes the modified content. For example, a virtual marker added to an image by an upstream AR engine may trigger a downstream AR engine to output a particular augmentation. The virtual marker may have a known meaning to both the upstream AR engine and the downstream AR engine. Accordingly, there may be “collaboration” among AR engines and a reduction in the processing requirements of downstream and overall image processing.

  • Publication number: 20220005283
    Abstract: Images and/or videos have associated therewith information like location and orientation information for the camera used to captured the images/videos. The associated location and orientation (or pose) information facilitates subsequent processing for producing accurate and convincing augmented reality (AR) outputs. In addition, some embodiments associate user-specific information with images or videos for producing customized AR content on a user-to-user basis.

  • Patent number: 11176098
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for providing alternate reality (e.g., virtual reality) representations to users. Exemplary methods employ data collections (e.g., stacks) which affect the virtual representations of baseline virtual models. Data collections contain layers which contain deltas. The deltas specify modifications to the baseline virtual reality world or model. The deltas may be geocoded, while the layers that contain them may not be geocoded. Separately selectable layers are used to temporarily modify or substitute baseline data or virtual elements (e.g., virtual objects) that are ultimately presented to a user on an output device. Conflict resolution algorithms harmonize conflicts between layers of a collection.
