Patent number: 12626419Abstract: To present augmented reality features without localizing a user, a client device receives a request for presenting augmented reality features in a camera view of a computing device of the user. Prior to localizing the user, the client device obtains sensor data indicative of a pose of the user, and determines the pose of the user based on the sensor data with a confidence level that exceeds a confidence threshold which indicates a low accuracy state. Then the client device presents one or more augmented reality features in the camera view in accordance with the determined pose of the user while in the low accuracy state.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2024Date of Patent: May 12, 2026Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Mohamed Suhail Mohamed Yousuf Sait, Andre Le, Juan David Hincapie, Mirko Ranieri, Marek Gorecki, Wenli Zhao, Tony Shih, Bo Zhang, Alan Sheridan, Matt Seegmiller

Publication number: 20240320855Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that makes use of one or more image sensors of a device to provide users with information relating to nearby points of interest. The image sensors may be used to detect features and/or objects in the field of view of the image sensors. Pose data, including a location and orientation of the device is then determined based on the one or more detected features and/or objects. A plurality of points of interest that are within a geographical area that is dependent on the pose data are then determined. The determination may, for instance, be made by querying a mapping database for points of interest that are known to be located within a particular distance of the location of the user. The device then provides information to the user indicating one or more of the plurality of points of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2024Publication date: September 26, 2024Inventors: Juan David Hincapie, Andre Le

Publication number: 20200410720Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to providing a notification in association with an augmented reality (AR) view. In particular, one or more computing devices can generate, for display by at least one of the computing device(s), an interface depicting an AR view of at least a portion of a physical real-world environment. In accordance with aspects of the disclosure, based at least in part on detected movement of the at least one of the computing device(s), the computing device(s) can transition amongst multiple different stages of one or more elements included in the interface to notify a viewer of the interface to mind their situational awareness of the physical real-world environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2019Publication date: December 31, 2020Inventors: Robert Carl Jagnow, Joanna Kim, Catherine Most, Andre Le, Alex Jacobo-Blonder, Kasey Klimes, Dominik Kaeser, Rachel Inman
