Patent number: 11954811Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) platform supports concurrent operation of multiple AR applications developed by third-party software developers. The AR platform may include an application programming interface (API) that third-party software developers can use to integrate features of the AR platform into the overall user experience of their AR applications. The AR platform includes a feature set having a variety of AR-specific features that interact with and are accessible to the AR applications or AR layers that define a collection of AR content.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: YouAR INC.Inventors: Oliver Clayton Daniels, David Morris Daniels, Raymond Victor Di Carlo, Luke T. Hartwig, Paul Issac Thomas

Publication number: 20240054735Abstract: A method and system are provided for enabling a shared augmented reality experience. The system may include one or more onsite devices for generating AR representations of a real-world location, and one or more offsite devices for generating virtual AR representations of the real-world location. The AR representations may include data and/or content incorporated into live views of a real-world location. The virtual AR representations of the AR scene may incorporate images and data from a real-world location and include additional AR content. The onsite devices may synchronize content used to create the AR experience with the offsite devices in real time, such that the onsite AR representations and the offsite virtual AR representations are consistent with each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Oliver Clayton DANIELS, Raymond Victor DI CARLO, David Morris DANIELS

Publication number: 20240020879Abstract: Systems and methods are described for establishing Proof of Location for a computing device (which may serve as Proof of Location for a user of the device). In some examples, establishing Proof of Location involves trackable features findable by the device at the location in question. In some examples, the computing device is configured to generate a point cloud of a trackable feature for comparison to a reference point cloud. Anti-spoofing methods are described for reducing the possibility of accidental or intentional false-positive Proof of Location results.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: George Howard Alexander BLIKAS, Oliver Clayton DANIELS, Raymond Victor DI CARLO, David Morris DANIELS, Luke Timothy HARTWIG

Patent number: 11756273Abstract: A system for accurately positioning augmented reality (AR) content within a coordinate system such as the World Geodetic System (WGS) may include AR content tethered to trackable physical features. As the system is used by mobile computing devices, each mobile device may calculate and compare relative positioning data between the trackable features. The system may connect and group the trackable features hierarchically, as measurements are obtained. As additional measurements are made of the trackable features in a group, the relative position data may be improved, e.g., using statistical methods.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: YOUAR INC.Inventors: Oliver Clayton Daniels, David Morris Daniels, Raymond Victor Di Carlo, Carlo J. Calica, Luke Timothy Hartwig

Publication number: 20230168796Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) platform for the Internet of Things (IoT) is disclosed. The AR platform enables a user to associate AR objects with IoT devices. These associations may further enable a user to direct a control input to a particular IoT device and receive outputs such as sensor measurements or state information from the IoT device via interaction with an associated AR object. These AR objects may be perceived by the user via a client device, such as via an AR viewer or other human interface. The AR platform further enables users to create shareable objects that define an association among or between multiple AR objects and their IoT devices that can be shared with and modified by other users.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2022Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Oliver Clayton DANIELS, David Morris DANIELS, Paul Issac THOMAS, Luke Timothy HARTWIG, Raymond Victor DI CARLO

Patent number: 11508098Abstract: A supervisory computer vision (CV) system may include a secondary CV system running in parallel with a native CV system on a mobile device. The secondary CV system is configured to run less frequently than the native CV system. CV algorithms are then run on these less-frequent sample images, generating information for localizing the device to a reference point cloud (e.g., provided over a network) and for transforming between a local point cloud of the native CV system and the reference point cloud. AR content may then be consistently positioned relative to the convergent CV system's coordinate space and visualized on a display of the mobile device. Various related algorithms facilitate the efficient operation of this system.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: YouAR INC.Inventors: Oliver Clayton Daniels, George Howard Alexander Blikas
