Publication number: 20240089695Abstract: A method includes obtaining an image of a machine-readable data representation that is located on a physical object using a camera of an electronic device. The machine-readable data representation includes an encoded form of a data value. The method further includes decoding the machine-readable data representation to determine the data value, whereby the data value includes a content identifier and a content source identifier. The method also includes selecting a content source based on the content source identifier, obtaining a content item and content location information based on the content identifier from the content source, determining a content position and a content orientation for the content item relative to the physical object based on the content location information, and displaying a representation of the content item using the electronic device according to the content position and the content orientation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: David W. Padgett, Christopher D. Fu, Scott G. Wade, Paul Ewers, Ioana Negoita, Thomas G. Salter, Dhruv Aditya Govil, Dimitris Ladopoulos

Publication number: 20230419793Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for displaying a visual indication of audibility of an audible signal. In various implementations, a device includes a display, an audio sensor, a processor and a non-transitory memory. In various implementations, a method includes receiving, via the audio sensor, an audible signal and converting the audible signal to electronic signal data. In various implementations, the method includes obtaining environmental data that indicates audio response characteristics of a physical environment in which the device is located. In various implementations, the method includes displaying, on the display, an indicator that indicates a distance from a source of the audible signal at which the audible signal is audible. In some implementations, the distance is based on an amplitude associated with the electronic signal data and the audio response characteristics of the physical environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Devin William Chalmers, Dhruv Aditya Govil, Rahul Nair

Patent number: 11825375Abstract: A method includes determining a device location of an electronic device, transmitting a request to a content source, the request including the device location of the electronic device, and receiving, from the content source in response to the request, a content item that is associated with display location information that describes a content position for the content item relative to a physical environment. The content item is selected by the content source based on the content position for the content item being within an area that is defined based on the device location. The method also includes displaying a representation of the content item as part of a computer-generated reality scene in which the representation of the content item is positioned relative to the physical environment according to the content position for the content item from the display location information for the content item.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: David W. Padgett, Christopher D. Fu, Scott G. Wade, Paul Ewers, Ioana Negoita, Thomas G. Salter, Dhruv Aditya Govil, Dimitris Ladopoulos
