Publication number: 20250014347Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method includes accessing 2D data generated by a plurality of sensors. The plurality of sensors are located within a physical environment. The method further includes identifying, by analyzing the 2D data, a physical object that is physically located within the physical environment. The method further includes displaying, in a graphical user interface, a virtual 3D environment that corresponds to the physical environment. The method further includes displaying a virtual object in the virtual 3D environment. The virtual object is a visual representation of the physical object identified in the 2D data and a location of the virtual object in the virtual 3D environment corresponds to a physical location of the physical object in the physical environment. The method further includes displaying movements of the virtual object in the virtual 3D environment that correspond to movements of the physical object within the physical environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Applicant: Worlds Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Ross Bates, Paul Aarseth, Ruben Luna, Nik Willwerth

Patent number: 11928864Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method includes accessing a video generated by a first physical camera in a physical environment. The method further includes identifying an object of interest in the video frame that corresponds to a physical object in the physical environment. The method further includes displaying a virtual 3D environment that corresponds to the physical environment. The method further includes configuring a plurality of settings of a first virtual camera to match a plurality of settings of a first physical camera and configuring a plurality of settings of a second virtual camera to match a plurality of settings of a second physical camera. The method further includes projecting the identified object of interest into the virtual 3D environment using the configured first and second virtual cameras.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Worlds Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Ross Bates, Paul Aarseth, Ruben Luna, Nik Willwerth

Patent number: 11887374Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method includes accessing a video generated by a camera in a physical environment. The method further includes identifying, from a first video frame of the video, a first object of interest corresponding to a physical object in the physical environment. The method further includes storing a record for the first object of interest that includes a unique identifier. The method further includes identifying a second object of interest from a second video frame. The method further includes comparing variables of the first object of interest to variables of the second object of interest. The method further includes determining that the variables of the first object of interest match the variables of the second object of interest and then assigning the unique identifier to the second object of interest. The method further includes updating the record to include the second object of interest.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: World's Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Ross Bates, Paul Aarseth, Ruben Luna, Nik Willwerth

Patent number: 11776275Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method includes accessing a live track list stored in memory. Each track of the live track list includes a coordinate of an object of interest captured by a physical sensor located within a physical environment and a unique ID. The method further includes comparing a new track to the live track list in order to determine if the new track matches any existing tracks. The method further includes merging the new track with the particular existing track when the new track matches a particular track in the live track list. The method further includes adding the new track to the live track list when the new track does not match any existing tracks. The method further includes displaying a virtual 3D environment that corresponds to the physical environment. The method further includes projecting virtual objects into the virtual 3D environment using the live track list.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: WORLDS ENTERPRISES, INC.Inventors: Ross Bates, Paul Aarseth, Ruben Luna, Nik Willwerth
