  • Systems and methods for enabling precise object interaction within an augmented reality environment
    Patent number: 11734895
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for displaying a real-world vehicle in an augmented reality environment. The system employs a user device camera to obtain image data of an environment that includes a real-world vehicle. The system analyzes the image data to identify the vehicle within the environment. A wireframe model of the vehicle is then generated and registered to the vehicle. The image data is displayed on the user device. In response to user input, the system may then attach a virtual vehicle accessory to the wireframe model. The accessory is then displayed on the user device display in an augmented reality environment such that the vehicle appears to seamlessly incorporate the accessory.
