Publication number: 20230316747Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide visualizations of non-visible features of a physical environment, at the location of the non-visible features in the physical environment. The non-visible features may include wireless communications signals, sounds, airflow, gases, subsonic and/or ultrasonic waves, hidden objects, or the like. A device may store visual contexts for visualizations of particular non-visible features. The device may obtain a depth map that allows the device to determine the location of the non-visible feature in the physical environment and to overlay the visualization on a user's view of that location. In this way, the non-visible feature can be visualized its correct location, orientation, direction and/or strength in the physical environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Ying BAI, Kieran DIMOND, James Christopher SCHNEIDER, Marco CAVALLO, Arun Srivatsan RANGAPRASAD, Tiejian ZHANG
