  • Publication number: 20190108558
    Abstract: Systems, Methods and Apparatuses Of Multidimensional Mapping Of Universal Locations Or Location Ranges For Alternate Or Augmented Digital Experiences are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, to generate an augmented reality environment relevant to a geographical place in the real world. The method can further include administering multiple digital namespaces for the augmented reality environment and/or assigning a virtual object of the augmented reality environment to a digital namespace of the multiple digital namespaces. The multiple digital namespaces are associated with the geographical place in the real world.

  • Publication number: 20190107935
    Abstract: Systems, Methods and Apparatuses to Facilitate Physical and Non-Physical Interaction/Action/Reaction are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, to generate a mixed reality environment associated with a physical location. The mixed reality environment can include, a photorealistic representation of a physical environment associated with the physical location and/or a virtual world having a virtual object. The virtual object can, in one embodiment, be a portal virtual object is interacted with in the mixed reality environment to traverse into or out of another reality. A human user can be enabled to discover relevant objects in the other reality through physical exploration of the physical location and areas surrounding the physical location and/or digital exploration in the other reality environment through digital navigation via a user interface of the other reality.

  • Publication number: 20190108682
    Abstract: Systems, Methods and Apparatuses To Create Real World Value And Demand For Virtual Spaces Via An Alternate Reality Environment are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, to generate the virtual world over the physical place in the real world such that, as observed by a human user, the virtual world appears to be visually superimposed over the physical place in the real world. The method can further include determining a lateral position of placement for a virtual object in the virtual world. Multiple vertical positions for placement of the virtual object can be associated with the lateral position where an eye level or near eye level vertical position of the multiple vertical positions is associated with a higher cost than non eye level vertical positions of the multiple vertical positions.
