Patents by Inventor Samuel Finding

Samuel Finding has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10685489
    Abstract: A device has an optical sensor, an inertial sensor, and a hardware processor. The optical sensor generates image data. The inertial sensor generates inertia data. The hardware processor receives an augmented reality (AR) authoring template authored at a client device, generates media content using the image data, and receives a selection of spatial coordinates within a three-dimensional region using the inertia data and the image data. The three-dimensional region is identified in the AR authoring template. The hardware processor further identifies an entry in the AR authoring template corresponding to the media content, places the media content at the selected spatial coordinates in the entry in the AR authoring template, and forms AR content using the media content at the selected spatial coordinates placed in the entry in the AR authoring template.

  • Publication number: 20180053352
    Abstract: A wearable computing device provides augmented reality images of an environment in which the wearable computing device is worn. The wearable computing device is configured to detect one or more objects in the environment and acquire, by one or more cameras of the wearable computing device, one or more thermal images of at least one object of the detected one or more objects. The wearable computing device also determines at least one depth parameter value for at least one thermal image of the one or more thermal images and obtains augmented reality content to be displayed with the at least one thermal image. The wearable computing device further obtains instructions of whether one or more portions of the augmented reality content are to be occluded, and uses the at least one thermal image as an occlusion mask to occlude the one or more portions of the augmented reality content.

The wearable computing device is configured to detect one or more objects in the environment and acquire, by one or more cameras of the wearable computing device, one or more thermal images of at least one object of the detected one or more objects. The wearable computing device also obtains one or more instructions relating to the at least one object of the detected one or more objects based on the one or more acquired thermal images. The wearable computing device further generates augmented reality content having the obtained one or more instructions, and displays, by a display of the wearable computing device, the generated augmented reality content with one or more of the acquired thermal images of the at least one object of the detected one or more objects.
