  • Presenting Labels In Augmented Reality
    Publication number: 20240355058
    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can present augmented reality (AR) labels in an AR video stream. For example, the computing device can obtain route information for a route requested by a user and can determine locations along the route for placing candidate AR labels. The computing device can determine the precise location of the computing device using camera depth information obtained in response to the user scanning the local real-world environment with a camera of the computing device. The computing device can select an AR label and/or label placement location for presentation in an AR video stream based on various criteria, including the distance between the candidate AR labels and the precise location of the computing device, priorities assigned to each candidate AR label, and/or whether a clear line of sight exists between the precise location of the computing device and the candidate AR label location.
