  • Publication number: 20240177364
    Abstract: To present augmented reality features without localizing a user, a client device receives a request for presenting augmented reality features in a camera view of a computing device of the user. Prior to localizing the user, the client device obtains sensor data indicative of a pose of the user, and determines the pose of the user based on the sensor data with a confidence level that exceeds a confidence threshold which indicates a low accuracy state. Then the client device presents one or more augmented reality features in the camera view in accordance with the determined pose of the user while in the low accuracy state.

  • Publication number: 20230360257
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that makes use of one or more image sensors of a device to provide users with information relating to nearby points of interest. The image sensors may be used to detect features and/or objects in the field of view of the image sensors. Pose data, including a location and orientation of the device is then determined based on the one or more detected features and/or objects. A plurality of points of interest that are within a geographical area that is dependent on the pose data are then determined. The determination may, for instance, be made by querying a mapping database for points of interest that are known to be located within a particular distance of the location of the user. The device then provides information to the user indicating one or more of the plurality of points of interest.

  • Publication number: 20230154059
    Abstract: Methods, systems, devices, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media for generating geolocalized images are provided. The disclosed technology can access target location data. The target location data can include information associated with an environment from which a target location is within a field of view of a user device. A suitable position of the user device from which an unobstructed view of the target location is within the field of view of the user device and that satisfies one or more criteria can be determined based on the target location data. Furthermore, indications and images of the environment within the field of view of the user device can be generated. The indications can be associated with positioning the user device in the suitable position.

  • Publication number: 20220178713
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for determining the orientation of a device based on visible and/or non-visible orientation cues. The orientation cues may be a geographically located objects, such as a park, body of water, monument, building, landmark, etc. The orientation cues may be visible or non-visible with respect to the location of the device. The device may use one or more image sensors to detect the visible orientation cues. Non-visible orientation cues may be associated with map data. Using the location of the orientation cue and the distance of the orientation cue to the device, the orientation of the device may be determined. The device may then provide an output indicating the orientation of the device.

  • Patent number: 9953556
    Abstract: In a method of correcting a desired color of a pixel to be displayed in an optical see-through display, a binned-display profile of prescribed colors arranged to be rendered by the display include background colors added to it so that the desired color can be matched to a closest one of the resulting predicted color profile of colors which are predicted to be perceived by a user. The display is then instructed to display the prescribed color which corresponds with the closest matching predicted color such that an observer substantially perceives the desired color. Typically the desired color is only compared to a subset of the predicted colors for efficiency. Additional corrections may take place to improve contrast of graphical content compared to the background in some instance.
