  • Patent number: 10555174
    Abstract: Embodiments related to a restricted-use authentication code are disclosed. One disclosed embodiment provides a method of generating a representation of a restricted-use authentication code for detection by another computing device to authenticate the other computing device to a remote service. The method includes receiving authentication information, the authentication information comprising a restricted-use authentication code and generating a representation of the authentication information. The method further includes presenting the representation of the authentication information to a sensor system of the other computing device for authentication.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160140761
    Abstract: Optimizing augmented reality scenes by using depth information to accurately display interactions between real objects and synthetic objects is described. A stream of depth data associated with a real scene of an augmented reality display and a stream of color data associated with the real scene may be received. The stream of depth data may be processed to construct a first mesh and the first mesh may be projected into a color space associated with the stream of color data to construct a second mesh. In some examples, a position of the synthetic objects respective to real objects in the real scene may be determined and/or queries may be conducted to determine how the synthetic objects interact with the real objects in the real scene. Based at least on constructing the second mesh, determining positions, and/or conducting queries, one or more synthetic objects may be drawn into the real scene.
