Then the server device provides a pickup location to the rider and the driver which is presented in a map display of the rider and driver's client devices. When the rider or driver's current location is within a threshold distance of the pickup location, the corresponding client device switches to an augmented reality mode and presents a camera view from a camera of the client device depicting real-world imagery. The server device provides information to the corresponding client device to present in the augmented reality mode overlaying the real-world imagery to assist the rider or driver in finding the pickup location.

  • Patent number: 11997426
    Abstract: A system for conducting a video conference and methods for making and utilizing the same. The system can generate a first virtual stage for a first participant in the video conference by selecting one or more items of personal information associated with the first conference participant and disposing the selected personal information items in a predetermined arrangement. The first virtual stage can be transmitted with a first visual image of the first conference participant to a computer system associated with a second conference participant for visual presentation during the video conference. The system advantageously can enable the computer system associated with each conference participate to visually present a visual image with an associated virtual stage for each of the other conference participants.
