Patent number: 10600249Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) platform supports concurrent operation of multiple AR applications developed by third-party software developers. The AR platform may include an application programming interface (API) that third-party software developers can use to integrate features of the AR platform into the overall user experience of their AR applications. The AR platform includes a feature set having a variety of AR-specific features that interact with and are accessible to the AR applications or AR layers that define a collection of AR content.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2016Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: YouAR INC.Inventors: Oliver Clayton Daniels, David Morris Daniels, Raymond Victor Di Carlo, Luke T. Hartwig, Paul Issac Thomas

Patent number: 10559136Abstract: A system for accurately positioning augmented reality (AR) content within a coordinate system such as the World Geodetic System (WGS) may include AR content tethered to trackable physical features. As the system is used by mobile computing devices, each mobile device may calculate and compare relative positioning data between the trackable features. The system may connect and group the trackable features hierarchically, as measurements are obtained. As additional measurements are made of the trackable features in a group, the relative position data may be improved, e.g., using statistical methods.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2019Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: YouAR INC.Inventors: Oliver Clayton Daniels, David Morris Daniels, Raymond Victor Di Carlo, Carlo J. Calica, Luke Timothy Hartwig

Publication number: 20200020137Abstract: A supervisory computer vision (CV) system may include a secondary CV system running in parallel with a native CV system on a mobile device. The secondary CV system is configured to run less frequently than the native CV system. CV algorithms are then run on these less-frequent sample images, generating information for localizing the device to a reference point cloud (e.g., provided over a network) and for transforming between a local point cloud of the native CV system and the reference point cloud. AR content may then be consistently positioned relative to the convergent CV system's coordinate space and visualized on a display of the mobile device. Various related algorithms facilitate the efficient operation of this system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2019Publication date: January 16, 2020Applicant: YouAR INC.Inventors: Oliver Clayton DANIELS, George Howard Alexander BLIKAS

Publication number: 20190228585Abstract: Cell-based augmented reality (AR) content positioning systems may include a reference grid of cells, each of which includes a 32-bit intracellular coordinate system based on a respective reference point of the cell. Cell topology is selected such that the intracellular coordinate systems may utilize single-precision floating point numbers while retaining the ability to define content positions with, e.g., millimeter-level precision. Accordingly, rendering of AR content may be performed at a high precision using 32-bit devices and methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2019Publication date: July 25, 2019Applicant: YouAR INC.Inventors: Brandon P. FARRELL, Carlo J. CALICA
