Publication number: 20240355058Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can present augmented reality (AR) labels in an AR video stream. For example, the computing device can obtain route information for a route requested by a user and can determine locations along the route for placing candidate AR labels. The computing device can determine the precise location of the computing device using camera depth information obtained in response to the user scanning the local real-world environment with a camera of the computing device. The computing device can select an AR label and/or label placement location for presentation in an AR video stream based on various criteria, including the distance between the candidate AR labels and the precise location of the computing device, priorities assigned to each candidate AR label, and/or whether a clear line of sight exists between the precise location of the computing device and the candidate AR label location.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2024Publication date: October 24, 2024Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ting-Yuan Wu, Lukasz J.

Publication number: 20230025576Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide several novel methods for generating a navigation presentation that displays a device navigating a route on a map. The method of some embodiments uses a virtual camera that, based on detected changes in the navigation context, dynamically modifies the way it captures portions of the map to produce different navigation scenes in the navigation presentation. To generate the navigation scenes, the method of some embodiments (1) identifies different sets of attributes that describe the different navigation contexts at different times during the navigation presentation, and (2) uses these different sets of attributes to identify different styles for operating the virtual camera. In some embodiments, the method uses an identified style to specify the virtual camera's positional attributes, which, in turn, define the portions of the map that the virtual camera identifies for rendering to produce several navigation scenes for a period of time (e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Justin M.

Publication number: 20220390242Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can present alight notifications to a user when the user (e.g., user device) is approaching a public transit stop where the user should depart the public transit vehicle the user is currently occupying. For example, a user may use a user device to generate a public transit route that includes a starting location, a sequence of public transit stops, and a destination location. While traversing the transit route, the user may need to exit public transit vehicle (e.g., to reach the destination location, to switch transit lines, etc.). The user device can identify transit stops along the route where the user should exit a transit vehicle and present notifications prompting the user to exit the transit vehicle at the upcoming stop as the user device approaches the identified transit stops.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Brian J Andrich, Sara E Marcus, Thomas Pajor, Nick Provenzano, Tim A Aerts, Alex Benevento, Leo Emile Jean Pierre Vallet, Samantha J Bennett, Sara A Bergquist, Nathan L Fillhardt, Yun Jae Kim, Scott G Jackson, Jan F Sanchez Dudus, Ishan Bhutani, Ray R Chen, Christopher Y Tremblay
