  • Publication number: 20140273834
    Abstract: A consumer may place a mobile device running an enabled application within a certain distance of an NFC spatial anchor and beacon that may first set the spatial anchor. The height and position of the mobile device may then be captured. An algorithm that combines accelerometer and gyro data may be used to continually track movement and angle shifts of the mobile device relative to the spatial anchor and a pre-mapped graphic, object and/or group of objects. While setting the spatial anchor, the anchor and beacon may provide metadata over NFC that may be used to generate an augmented reality experience. The mobile device may then generate a consumer experience that may augment or otherwise alter graphics or three-dimensional objects with a digital content overlay.
