Patent number: 12260015Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for an immersive augmented reality (AR) experience using an eyewear device. A portable eyewear device includes a processor, a memory, and a display projected onto at least one lens assembly. The memory has programming stored therein that, when executed by the processor, captures information depicting an environment surrounding the device and identifies a match between objects in that information and predetermined objects in previously obtained information for the same environment. When the position of the eyewear device reaches a preselected location with respect to the matched objects, a physical output is provided to produce the immersive experience. The physical output changes as the position of the eyewear device moves to maintain the immersive experience.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2023Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Ilteris Canberk, Shin Hwun Kang, Doug Mead

Patent number: 12249036Abstract: Eyewear presenting text corresponding to spoken words (e.g., in speech bubbles) and optionally translating from one language to another. In one example, an interactive augmented reality experience is provided between two users of eyewear devices to allow one user of an eyewear device to share a personal attribute of the user with a second user. The personal attribute can be speech spoken by a remote second user of eyewear converted to text. The converted text can be displayed on a display of eyewear of the first user proximate the viewed second user. The personal attribute may be displayed in a speech bubble proximate the second user, such as proximate the head or mouth of the second user. The language of the spoken speech can be recognized by the second user eyewear, and translated to a language that is understood by the first user.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2023Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Ilteris Canberk, Shin Hwun Kang, Dmytro Kucher

Publication number: 20250041661Abstract: Example systems, devices, media, and methods are described for evaluating movements and physical exercises in augmented reality using the display of an eyewear device. A motion evaluation application implements and controls the capturing of frames of motion data using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) on the eyewear device. The method includes presenting virtual targets on the display, localizing the current eyewear device location based on the captured motion data, and presenting virtual indicators on the display. The virtual targets represent goals or benchmarks for the user to achieve using body postures. The method includes detecting determining whether the eyewear device location represents an intersecting posture relative to the virtual targets, based on the IMU data. The virtual indicators display real-time feedback about user posture or performance relative to the virtual targets.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2024Publication date: February 6, 2025Inventors: Ilteris Canberk, Ivan Fekete, Shin Hwun Kang, Dmytro Kucher, Ihor Kuzin, Vernon James Carlos Manlapaz, Artur Sydoran

Publication number: 20240393887Abstract: Example systems, devices, media, and methods are described for controlling virtual elements or graphical elements on a display in response to hand gestures detected by an eyewear device that is capturing frames of video data with its camera system. An image processing system detects a series of hand shapes in the video data and determines whether it matches a predefined series of hand gestures. Each predefined series of hand gestures is associated with an action. The system controls movement of the virtual element, relative to the display, in accordance with the associated action. In an example hand shape that includes a thumb sliding along an extended finger, the system establishes a finger scale along the extended finger, calibrates a graphical scale with the finger scale, and controls movement of an interactive graphical element, such as a slider, according to the current thumb position relative to the calibrated graphical scale.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2024Publication date: November 28, 2024Inventors: Ilteris Canberk, Viktoria Hwang, Shin Hwun Kang, David Meisenholder, Daniel Moreno

Publication number: 20240397033Abstract: Systems and methods are described for selectively sharing audio and video streams amongst electronic eyewear devices. Each electronic eyewear device includes a camera arranged to capture a video stream in an environment of the wearer, a microphone arranged to capture an audio stream in the environment of the wearer, and a display. A processor of each electronic eyewear device executes instructions to establish an always-on session with other electronic eyewear devices and selectively shares an audio stream, a video stream, or both with other electronic eyewear devices in the session. Each electronic eyewear device also generates and receives annotations from other users in the session for display with the selectively shared video stream on the display of the electronic eyewear device that provided the selectively shared video stream. The annotation may include manipulation of an object in the shared video stream or overlay images registered with the shared video stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2024Publication date: November 28, 2024Inventors: Ilteris Canberk, Shin Hwun Kang, Sven Kratz, Brian Anthony Smith, Yu Jiang Tham, Rajan Vaish

Patent number: 12108011Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for producing an augmented reality (AR) experience for display on a smart eyewear device. The AR production system includes a marker registration utility for setting and storing markers, a localization utility for locating the eyewear device relative to a marker location and to the mapped environment, and a virtual object rendering utility to presenting one or more virtual objects having a desired size, shape, and orientation. A high-definition camera captures an input image of the environment. If the input image includes a marker, the system retrieves from memory a set of data including a first marker location expressed in terms relative to a marker coordinate system. The localization utility determines a local position of the eyewear device relative to the marker location.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2021Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Ilteris Canberk, Shin Hwun Kang, Kristina Marrero

Patent number: 12080261Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for playing audio sounds, such as music, on a portable electronic device using a digital color image of a note matrix on a map. A computer vision engine, in an example implementation, includes a mapping module, a color detection module, and a music playback module. The camera captures a color image of the map, including a marker and a note matrix. Based on the color image, the computer vision engine detects a token color value associated with each field. Each token color value is associated with a sound sample from a specific musical instrument. A global state map is stored in memory, including the token color value and location of each field in the note matrix. The music playback module, for each column, in order, plays the notes associated with one or more the rows, using the corresponding sound sample, according to the global state map.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2023Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Ilteris Canberk, Donald Giovannini, Sana Park
