  • Patent number: 10482517
    Abstract: A user may simulate wearing real-wearable items, such as virtual garments and accessories. A virtual-outfitting interface may be provided for presentation to the user. An item-search/selection portion within the virtual-outfitting interface may be provided. The item-search/selection portion may depict one or more virtual-wearable items corresponding to one or more real-wearable items. The user may be allowed to select at least one virtual-wearable item from the item-search/selection portion. A main display portion within the virtual-outfitting interface may be provided. The main display portion may include a composite video feed that incorporates a video feed of the user and the selected at least one virtual-wearable item such that the user appears to be wearing the selected at least one virtual-wearable item in the main display portion.

  • Patent number: 10200654
    Abstract: A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to allow real time manipulation of objects within multiple dynamic and augmented video streams/feeds synchronized in an augmented reality (AR) or multi-dimensional space. Under such an approach, a participant/user of a first AR system would be able to connect with participants/users of a second same, similar or different AR system and to share their initial and/or augmented video streams with those users to enhance the AR experience from one participant to many. Through real time synchronization of augmented video streams in the AR systems, the users of both the first and the second AR system can see, share, manipulate and interact with the augmented content/objects either in his/her own augmented video streams or in the augmented video streams of another user.
