Abstract: Systems, methods, and and/or algorithms facilitate navigation with augmented reality by determining which streets should be annotated, and/or determining the position and/or format of street annotations, based on factors such as user distance and orientation relative to streets, and/or the configuration of streets (e.g., whether nearby streets form a simple intersection, a complex intersection, or no intersection).

Abstract: Techniques include providing a mesh geometry for an image of an object to an application. In this way, an application that provides the image of the object can then overlay the mesh geometry onto the image. For example, when the object is a building, an image of a building is provided by a camera used by an application. The application can be configured to determine the three-dimensional location of the building based on the image provided by the camera. The application can be configured to determine a mesh geometry for the building based on the determined location. The application can be configured to obtain the mesh geometry and overlay the image of the building (virtual building) with the mesh geometry.

Abstract: A method including receiving a request for an anchor associated with a location, determining whether the location includes a structure, in response to determining the location includes a structure, retrieve data associated with the structure and determine if a quality associated with the data associated with the structure meets a criterion, and in response to determining the quality meets the criterion, return an anchor in response to the request.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a method for providing an animated presentation. The method includes identifying a geographic area and identifying solar flux for the geographic area. A plurality of images of the geographic area then is generated to display the solar flux. Each image in the plurality of images displays solar flux at different points in time of a day. The animated presentation is generated by displaying the plurality of images in chronological order with a transition between images in the plurality of images and provided for display on a display to a user.
