Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Eyewear configured to identify movements of a remote physical object to provide a 3D painting interactive augmented reality experience. In an example, the eyewear uses the identified movements of the remote physical object as a virtual brush to create a three-dimensional (3D) virtual object on an eyewear display. The eyewear determines positional information of the remote physical object. The eyewear uses the positional information and responsively displays and edits the virtual object as a function of the relative 3D positioning of the remote physical object.

Abstract: Devices, media, and methods are presented for an immersive augmented reality (AR) experience using an eyewear device with spatial audio. The eyewear device has a processor, a memory, an image sensor, and a speaker system. The eyewear device captures image information for an environment surrounding the device and identifies an object location within the same environment. The eyewear device then associates a virtual object with the identified object location. The eyewear device monitors the position of the device with respect to the virtual object and presents audio signals to alert the user that the identified object is in the environment.

A user is guided though an environment by monitoring a current position of the eyewear device within the environment, identifying marker positions within a threshold of the current position, the marker positions defined with respect to the environment and associated with guidance markers, registering the marker positions, generating overlay image including the guidance markers, and presenting the overlay image on a display of the eyewear device.

Abstract: Example systems, devices, media, and methods are described for presenting an interactive game in augmented reality on the display of a smart eyewear device. A hand tracking utility detects and tracks the location of hand gestures in real time, based on high-definition video data. The detected hand gestures are compared to library of hand gestures and landmarks. Examples include synchronized, multi-player games in which each device detects and shares hand gestures with other devices for evaluation and scoring. A single-player example includes gesture-shaped icons presented on a virtual scroll that appears to move toward an apparent collision with corresponding key images, awarding points if the player's hand is located near the apparent collision and the detected hand shape matches the moving icon.

Abstract: Eyewear providing an interactive augmented reality experience between two users of eyewear devices to perform a shared group object manipulation task.

Abstract: An application enables users of electronic eyewear devices to bring a workout session anywhere and have aspects of the workout session (e.g., number of repetitions) recorded automatically. It also allows users to have always-on visibility of their workout instructor so that they can, for example, continue to maintain a visual guide for their form/pose. Virtual avatars perform demonstrations about activities such as yoga in an augmented reality environment using the display of an electronic eyewear device. The demonstration elements can be controlled using voice commands.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for displaying a virtual object on the display of a portable eyewear device using motion data gathered by a face-tracking application on a mobile device. A controller engine leverages the processing power of a mobile device to locate the face supporting the eyewear, locate the hand holding the mobile device, acquire the motion data, and calculate an apparent path of the virtual object. The virtual object is displayed in a series of locations along the apparent path, based on both the course traveled by the mobile device (in the hand) and the track traveled by the eyewear device (on the face), so that the virtual object is persistently viewable to the user.
