  • Publication number: 20240350902
    Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) toy system includes a moveable real world toy and an AR user device adapted to carry out the steps of: recognizing the real world object; attributing the real world object with an AR-target; obtaining a position of the AR-target and a motion vector for the AR-target associated with the position; defining virtual world objects at virtual world coordinates with respect to the position of the AR-target; transforming the virtual world coordinates with respect to the AR-target position by an opposite vector of the motion vector; receiving a steering input; rotating the virtual world coordinates with respect to the AR-target by rotation opposite to the steering input around a corresponding steering axis passing through the AR-target position; and rendering virtual world objects at the transformed and rotated virtual world coordinates.

  • Patent number: 10650222
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for recognizing a plurality of real-world toy construction elements of a toy construction system assembled to form a real-world toy construction model, each real-world toy construction element comprising coupling members for detachably connecting the real-world toy construction element with one or more other real-world toy construction elements of the toy construction system so as to form the real-world toy construction model; wherein the method comprises: receiving at least one captured image of the real world toy construction model; processing the at least one captured image so as to at least preliminarily recognise at least a first real-world toy construction element in the at least one captured image as a first known real-world toy construction element from stored digital representations of a plurality of known real-world toy construction elements of the toy construction system, each digital representation comprising connectivity information indicative of how the correspondin
